Who the heck has the time and money to risk taking their brand new 90k Sl500 to the track.......Not even if I owned an sl65 renttech would I track it. I would just pimp the hell out of it and walk around like my ish don't stink because it wouldn't if I owned that car LOL! I would have nothing more to prove. I mean it doesn't get any better than a modded sl65 ultimate benz unless you get the SLR andthen who would eve track that. I would not even want anyone to breath on my sl much less an slr. So point being I'm talking about modding potential on that 388hp engine. Then you would really be kickin in an sl500 without paying premums of sl55/65 and finally sl500 would get some hp respect on the street cause right now sl500 is all about the roadster pimp lifestyle.........with 388hp you can now mess with some of the big guns as far as highway sprints....NOT TRACK!

I agree, knowledge is the best mod.

Here in Houston as well
Traffic does suck here, especially when it freaking rains. Whenever the streets get wet, it's like everyone forgets how to drive.
Robble robble.

It's a shame that "pimping" your car is your dream but then I respect that because you are totally honest about it.
BTW..you should want to own a specific car because you enjoy it or aspire to own it one day and then can, not because you have to show others that there is "nothing left to prove". What does that mean anyway. Quite the arrogant take and one that is why so many high end car owners are steroetyped because of the few that act like that.
But, like I said, no sense in judging you, I respect your stance and all others which is what makes this forum (and others) so great......DIVERSITY. If not, then we would all have the same car, bone stock, and drive it like little old ladies
Happy Motoring.

"Nothing to prove" meaning I don't need to RACE anybody especially on a track to know that having a car that fast like an sl55/65, I can always kick most car's butts on the road if I ever choose too. So I'd rather just chill...aka "pimp" lol!

It's all good. Nothing wrong with drivin a pimp ride. Some of us just prefer to drive a wolf in sheeps clothing.
Just remember what Big Daddy Kane said back in the days.......
"Pimpin ain't easy!"
