SL55 AMG loses to....?!
A Ford Ranger??!! Sorry about the camera man....he's not the most tech savvy!

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v...type=2&theater

Ranger got the hole-shot on the benz in the 1/4 ( the camera man is in the 'trap' of the 1/4), but the benz walks away hard after that....
I own both units, and was curious to see which one of my metal babies was quicker!
Benz is mostly stock, While the ranger is a Small block 347 fuel injected beast. With a 5 speed she puts down 398/402 at the wheels...

Cool to see how close they actually were....Ranger has explosive head snapping power, while the Merc has a refined, subtle power...

And the other way...
