Question Any info about the F1 SLK55/C55 ?


not a good picture... but they ran too fast... and my DC is too slow...

They followed the F360 Chanllenger series race for the 1st lap...
man, they are both very close to the F360s! both in straight speed and cornering speed (surprise for a automatique mercedes on track!)

their ride height is stock though scratch.em
their muffler pipe looks stock too but they are loud! as lond as a stock F360.
But they don't sound like V8 at all scratch.em

when they lap by, everyone in the track hears their exhaust note thumbup.em
what did they done to their exhaust system? resonator off? muffler opened?
just sounddddddd great!

anyone got some info on them? i really want to know what they did to make it so fast in the corner and why they are so loud...

they also did 2 lap at extreme speed before the F1 race starts, to check out the condition of the track i guess...

are they mercedes sent drivers? they had both car in their extreme limit... else they are very very good drivers...

and both car look awsome thumbup.em

and her is the C55 exiting the corner...
sorry for such late movie... because i dunno when are they coming out on the track... else i'll let my DC ready for rollin. cry.em

Surprise vehicle laps/pace the track: 2 Honda elements, 1 Pilot, 1 luxery GT coach bus, 1 public transit bus, 1 cargo, 1 flatbed, they all lapped pretty at their extreme too haha, peope are laughing when they corner by hilarious.em


i'm infront of the board in the really left side of the photo.
the F1 are doing 300km/h - 100km/h braking in 3-4 Metere away from me... gee they are soooo loud! and the cars did a S turn infront of the crowds and gone.



our Mclaren drivers...



whos that in the red?
omg... most of people were Ferrari clothing that day... even in the washroom at the service center on the highway... people peeing and lining up all wore ferrari caps and shirts...

okay, that night was so jammed in Montreal... but lots of nice cars

many many ferraris and porsche, not much mercedes tho scratch.em never know french dun like MB...
