SL55 vs. Lambo

Leaving Atlanta, going N. on GA 400 I spot a Pearl Orange Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster just outside of I-285, of course I lay my hammer down and catch up to the side of him, once beside him I dropped a few gears and we play up to 140 for about five minutes. On the jump at about 70, I stayed nearly neck and neck unitl about 100-110 and then the Lambo opened up and was slowing drfiting a car link or so away at a time. Great runs and it is nice to know the 55 can hold it's own to an exotic costing three times as much! Always great to see exotics up for a run! Now if only I was in my Turbo, mmm

chip and pulley... and you will be right there...

great run...

The stock Murci has a higher trap speed compared the stock E55's therefore it only re-enforces your results...
