Raced a Sl500

I raced my buddy in his 03 Sl500 from a stop in my 2005 Cl500, i was slightly ahead to 60 but by very little, and by the time we were at 100 we were both even. i was surprised that i kept up

, same engine but im guessing the Sl ways much less??? anyways it was fun

Can't be bothered to look it up but they weigh close to equal. SL's folding hard top adds much weight.

They actually both weigh 4,100lbs. SL is one heavy pig unfortunately and needs massive torque to go anywhere.
