SL65 owners request!

Can you guys make a video of the speedo while accelerating? There almost no videos of SL65 on the net.

Doesnt feel that fast either but when you see how fast you walk away from traffic or see that you were at a dead stop then 120mph you realize just how fast it is. My e55 k2 felt faster and sounded faster and it even tossed you in the seat more on take off but this car is so smooth it just walks away and you dont even know it.

The reason it probably doesn't feel that fast is because of the torque curve. It makes so much from such low RPMs. My F40 feels fast because (it is!), and the torque comes on with a bang!
