Red face WTF easily beat SL 550 (R230)

Today, I pull up at the red light next to the red SL 550..........Yes, you heard me right....... SL 550 and it got a House of Import paper plate... ..I say to my self damm the 2007 SL 550 are here already....... So back to the race...... I over heard he talking ***** about me to his friend saying look at my car there Brabus logo on it but the car rolling on a stock rims.... And they laugh... .....(Due to so many pot hole in LA cause by the rain) When the light turn green he spin the wheel and got a 1 car length because I didn't think he going to race me... .....So I floor my SL Brabus and catch up.. ...next thing I know I beat him by 8 to 9 car length till the next red light..... ..... I say to my self that SL 550 is FAKE... .... because I easily beat him........The fool got an SL 500 and rebadge it to SL 550.. ...At the red light again he ask me how much horsepower I have on my SL Brabus.......I told him 20 more horsepower compare to your SL 550 that have 382hp.. ......another thing I told him is to take the SL 550 back to the dealer for a full refund and buy a 2006 SL 500 because right now they giving a big discount...... lol..... ...

well... i'm going to end up with another vendor.

much cheaper than powerchip, and it yeilds about the same power.

however I need to dyno before...

find a ride to work for a few days...

receive the ECU and Dyno again...

for 15hp to 20hp its too much of a hassle, but worth the savings of about $600 dollars.

so i'm not in a hurry.

i might still go Powerchip, if they can provide a better pricing and dyno included. I just dont think $1000 is a fair price for software upgrade.
