i raced this girl actually who was in a M6 (white) and i was expecting to lose by a lot, but not really.

 

You might want to add more detail.

 

you should add more to your story. one sentence doesnt do squat.

and yah, you should have gotten beaten fairly badly. are you sure she was racing you?

 

What type of race was it? From a dig, low speed roll, highway roll? In either of these scenarios, it is most likely the driver not the car. You need to be familiar with SMGIII to extract maximum performance...unlike the mash-and-go nature of the SL550.

 

Disregard this story as it seems as if the M6 had a fatal drivetrain flaw: a female driver.

BTW a 4600lb, 380hp boat doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell against a 3900lb 507hp cruise missile.

 

+1.. The SL550 is alot faster than the SL500, but it is no match for the M6.

 

Sure it does; driver error has been the result of many upsets on the road. All things equal though, the only R230's that are capable of chewing up the V10 M's come with twelve cylinders and a tune.

But...the weight difference between the two is more like 300 lbs, not 700. You'd be surprised how capable ABC can be. By no means is the SL550 a true and tried sports car, but it will hold its own on a windy stretch of road.

 

I killed a 600cc bike with 3 people in my car. I'm not posting it because i know the rider was some 19-21 year old who doesnt know how to ride for shytt

 

Thats a f_#cked up way of putting but your are right sl 550 is kind of quick but not as fast as an m6. But anything can happen on the streets these days which is why some drivers get pissed when they get murdered by less hp car which is funny none the less.

 

blahhhh....obviously this goes without saying, but either A. the driver really just had no idea how to drive the car, or B. the driver was not actually racing...even with the m6 in p400 mode(107hp less than a stock m6's max output) it still beats any of the 550 Mb's...i know this, because i have both an m6 and a 550 and have done it before...but, whatever i guess a win...is a win?

 

but he didnt win....he lost....just not by much.

 

The newb also didn't clarify if it was a vert or coupe? the vert is a lot heavier/slower, I destroyed 1 in my old modded C6 Vette..

 

Why did you even post this story?

 

The SL550 doesn't weight that much. My SL65 with me in it doesn't weight that much. My SL55 with me only weighed 4400 and the 65 is considerably heavier.

 

great story.

 

Was she hot?

 

The car was... regardless!

 

Are you Anorexic? lol 4400lbs w/you in it huh lol

Bone stk SL55 weigh 4365lbs, you must be built like a 9 yr old Vegetarian/bulemic

 

rofl. drunk post.

 

sorry let me add more details friends!

we were at a light and our windows were down and i asked to race, she wanted to as well. so 1st gear it was even then 2nd gear and up she dipped on me. i lost maybe about 4 car lenghts worth? which is not as badly as i thought

 

she dipped on you? what does that mean? and 4 carlenngths is pretty bad. thats like more than a bus.

 

I think you'll find the numbers MB lists are way off. In fact Mike's CL55 weighs more than my SL65. Though going by MB you would think quite the opposite. I weigh 195lbs.

 

Are you kidding? I was riveted to the screen as I read that story.

 

I got the #'s from Motortrend magazine, yes the CL weighs near 4800+lbs

 

I got mine off the scale at the dragstrip.
