Yeah, I'd get a "911 ETR" Plate, but uh-- people would take that as the terrorist attacks. And PRCHETR doesnt look good. I want a custom plate though.

Lexani: I agree we did get off on the wrong foot. Please take no offense to my plate, as you can see in my sig we have an 05 SL55 in the garage as well so its not to be taken to heart. Most MB owners get a kick out of it!!

Dancing: Nope not on DTMpower....

Thanks for the compliments on my car guys (and all from a rear photo ).
Heres the rest of the car:

Regarfds,
Evan

Wow. I just reread through the thread here. Funny to see Improviz beating Paghmani over and over... and over... and over. Had a good laugh or too.

I agree I would have trouble with a modded SL65, trust me I don't take the plate seriously, I had it on my Dinan S2 M5 b4 this car and b4 all the supercharged 55's....

Lexani: Pretty insecure huh? I never once bashed your car, or said mine was faster than yours stock... All I did was state that I thought a stock Turbo and SL600 would be a close race according to numbers, that a 600 would not walk away from a Turbo as you described.. To post 3 different posts you must have gotten pretty damn upset and wrote faster than you could think, no? CHILL no one would dare question your all mighty SL600... I don't "pick on" stock AMG's, or any car for that matter. I don't believe in street racing.. Does that mean I haven't runa few cars on the street? No, I have, but I don't go looking for a race. I am not bragging that I beat a stock Benz, simply stating what happened... BTW I only have 2K in performance upgrades, so don't make it like I have a crazy modded car or anything... Now what meet are you talking about?? I am in FL, you are in CA... If you would like to drive down here I would be more than happy to run you at a track (1/4mile or road course), if you beat the car my bike is next . Making fun of my plate?? Seriously grow up, very insecure. You are the first MB owner to make negative comments about it...
Evan
PS-Your consistant times don't stand a chance so I would suggest some radials if you do come down here...
i really would not worry about benz drivers. only 1 in 100 benz drivers could actually launch a car properly against a 4wd car, like the turbo.

the replacement for AWD launch is Torque. Most benzos have alot of that. Just press the loud pedal and let the stall convertor do its job.
