S550 Performance

Thought I'd post this. This car is very capable if MB allows it to be. Cold morning start, transmission in Eco, suspension in comfort, traction turned on, stock continental ZR tires and I consistently get these numbers. 0-60 in 4.5 (I've once seen 4.1) and the quarter in 12.2 @112 is pretty good. I think when the car is fully warmed up and set up correctly high 11's is possible. Also strongly believe the car can do 200 mph. I've don 181 before running out of road
