SL 500
03 SL 500 vs. Caddy XLR

My buddy with his XLR recently came up to visit me. During the visit we went out for a ride. Well low and behold we came across my old man on the way back home in his SL 500. My old man is a hot-rodder deep down. We are at the light and my buddy doesn't want to be disrespectful to my father. The light turns green and my old man took off. I look at my buddy and start laughing. He accelerates and they go to about 125. The SL got him because of the jump but both were pretty even. It was a lot of fun. My old man is still talking trash to my friend.

I thought that the XLR had the 400 HP Z06 engine?

That's the new XLR V series. The XLR has a 4.6L Northstar V8 w/ 320hp.

Ah, now the close race makes much more sense.
