SL55 vs 750Li
Some young kid about 19-20 driving daddys nice BMW.
We are on Jambo. Nice open road up the hill. 2 Lane
No traffic. At the light I let him go. Just stay along side him.
Then hit the button. ESP kicks in for a sec. Then off I go.
Took it to about 90 and backed off. Dumb *** kid had to do a fly by.
Almost got himself killed passing me on a wet spot. Had him by 10 lengths
at about 70. The sound of me blowing past him is something he will
remember for a while. Bet he goes home and gets on the internet
to see what the hell a SL55 is.

Besides, he seemed to think himself quite the authority on all things M and AMG, so I rate he deserved it.

But yes congratulations on a retarded race. I bet you feel good you beat a heavy 750 that is as slow as an non AMG S class. I wouldn't go bragging about killing a 4 door BMW in a 2 door 500 hp car unless it has 500hp and an M5 badge on it. This kill story is just about as fun as waiting in line at the DMV.

The kill was more about a young person taking on SL55 and not knowing
what he was getting into.
I find it interesting all these BMW M dudes hanging around this forum ?
Wonder if any AMG people hanging out in BMW forums ????

BMW "family car" Sedan v.s. Sports "super AMG quick" Car...take your pick
Can I still hang out with you guys once I am down to BMW only? I think I am going to sell both of them and get a 330I I just cant stand SMG anymore I am done with it.

AMG>Neon SRT8 (with NOS and blow engine from drag strip)>M///. Street car.
Driving a NA high revving M/// car on the street is brutal and I find somewhat un practical vs a big v8 that can act like a normal car and has a supercharger that can give you great amount of power on tap.
