Modded SL55 vs Z06...

I have an SL55 with a couple of mods. It is now running 550hp/550 lb ft torque.

Yesterday...a chromed out Z06 rumbled up to me at a traffic light and was doing the whole revving the engine thing and lunging forward. Maybe it's the kid in me....but I rarely turn down the opportunity to go fast...

The light changes....and we're OFF!! He got a little jump on me...but the SL just reeled him in and walked...no ran away. As soon as I got 2-3 car lengths ahead, he shut it down. When we got to the next light, he wouldn't look over and tried to act real cool....fixing his hair in the mirror, and dangling his steering hand over the wheel.

Oh well...chalk up another one to the silver beast!!!

True!! They usually turn off, pretend like they weren't racing, fix their hair, apply cologne, pretend to talk on the phone....I love to bait 'em!!

Stock vs stock...the SL still has 100 hp advantage. When I've run the SL55 at the track (road courses) the only cars that the SL has a challenge with are usually heavily modified turbo Porsches and ZO6's...running on slicks
