[quote=Deuuuce;3816918]Great story but why lie? I hate that. This isn't Pinks.

I did not mean my car was stock. I meant the SC on a SL55 is Stock. I should have made that more clear.

Good for you. I have a CBBSCD (Carbon Based Biological Speed Control Device) at mine. It is extremely sensitive to any and all 'G' forces.

Can you adjust the audible warning on your device?

SL killz

Nice kill. Did we ever establish if it was a C5 Z/06 or the C6 Z/06? Just curious since there is a difference. Either way, good one...

In post #10 the OP said it was a 2003 or 2004, which would make it a C5.

How does that CL65 do against the C6 Z/06? Just wondering as the CL65 is one of my potential future cars, lol

2005 SL55

I got rid of an 06 Z-06 for the 05 SL55 and I can tell you first hand experience that the Z-06 IS faster than the SL55 but not by a lot. The Mercedes is far superior in the suspension and ride quality but then it should be for the price difference. Bang for the buck the Z-06 is awesome.

PS if you go to u tube and put in the name Ranger Z-06 he ran 10.s in a stock Z on video and runs 11s all the time.

A low 11, mid/high 120mph car vs. a mid 12 low teen mph car and it's "not by a lot"...?

The Z06 spun well into 2nd and missed 5th.

A C6 Z06 would have been a closer race, no doubt. But even the C5 Z06s are no slouches, especially with some bolt-ons. Nice run; your SL probably catches a number of unsuspecting muscle cars by surprise!
