It's a legislation thing: The German auto makers (except Porsche) agree to limit the speed to 250 on cars sold in the showroom. This way they hope that the government doesn't make it mandatory by law.

Trey- I'll race you for your car... after I let the air out your rear tires! j/k GREAT work with the SL65 and I know alot of people are living vicariously through you. BREAK INTO THE 10's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 10s is quite a barrier to break. I dipped in the 10s with my old 525hp gemballa TT but hard to beat that all wheel drive launch. Good luck and keep us posted.

Pardon me, but is something wrong when an E55 eats a SL65? The pride of MB.

Not hardly - I think it's fantastic that the E55 group has figured out how to make their cars so fast. Besides, the E's are running into the low 11s with a shot of N2O, while the SL is running that speed with just ECU tuning. Imagine what would happen if I dropped a 75-shot into the SL?

Ah! Gotcha! I didn't know the N2O part...

Well then!? What are you waiting for? Take a 75-shot and show us 10s! And a video. :p
