And this proves...what?

The distance gap is a little improbable. The editing is kind of sketchy. The road is dark. Nice sound though...

Not as attractive as the MB, but what a rocket also, not stock, I think 450 hp. I am not the best recognizing years of vehicles, but what year 55 was that/which engine, the 350 hp vesion or the 493 hp version? Regardless, it beat the Diablo too.

The rest of the story is that the BMW is heavily modified whereas the SL is completely bone stock. Try that stock to stock and see what happens.

Modded vs. Stock=Apples vs. Oranges



Pit that M5 against a Brabus or Kleeman tuned SL55 and say bye, bye to that M5

Uhmm yeah, lets take a 600HP Supercharged M5 vs a 640 Kleemann SL55K. It'll be an interesting race to watch the Manual, 6-speed, 4000lb M5 take on the Automatic, 5-speed, 4400lb SL55. And just how exactly do you make an SL55 "go on a diet"? I haven't seen a single weight reduction-type package put by ANY of MB's tuners.

Note: M5 in the vids was a Nowack 530HP M5, NOT a 600HP Supercharged variant.
