SL55/63/65/R230 AMG: BMW M6 vs SL55 AMG (Video) !

The M3 in that video was a CSL.
There is no way in hell that an M3 will beat an SL55. Even my slightly modified (ecu, air filters) CLK500 beat an M3 top end. The M3 doesn't stand a chance hanging with an SL55 at any speed.
Sorry but this guy definitely seems like a troll. See how passionate he is about the M cars? And for an SL55 to lose 9 lengths to an M6 either means his supercharger shut off, his car is a lemon, or (the most likely of the 3) he is BSing.

On the -55,
I would think a simple "remap"/"flash" ain't gonna give ya much without some hard parts changing.............like:
1. Crank Pulley + Remap
2, Throttle body + Remap
3. 2nd Intercooler Upgrade + IC Pump Upgrade
That would net you some serious additional HP........like +70 or so, maybe more........
A simple flash ain't enough if ya want to feel a true difference........
(In My Humble Opinion)

Ur right
but i wouldnt want to mess up with warranty issues,i've heard from my friends that the warranty is really worth it and they recommended that if i go with an extended warranty if the option is given. They told me that i'll need a DOZEN of fuel pumps and several superchargers for the next three years ! I believe he stated that the design of the fuel pump is the problem (BOSCH).I'm actually thinking of fitting lamboghini style doors..what do you think guys ?? ![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)

your kidding right????
My car has an auto tranny and we raced in a straight line..So may i subscribe to your racing lessons Mr. schumacher ?
BTW i would never come close to an ///M or an RS4 on a track..you all now why
. As stated above i have a nice fast car and i'm enjoying it.
Edit: I did not race an ///M6,i raced an ///M5 which is a bit slower as claimed
.The video i posted wasnt me,i wish my SL is as fast as the one in the video although spanked ![smash](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smashfreak.gif)

I know that my SL55 will be faster than an ///M3 in higher speeds,common..we cant compare a 500+hp car with an M3,i'm not tracking my car,where i reckon the M3 will beat the **** our of my car,even in street racing on the beach on a busy road,i dont think i will race for speeds more than 120-160 km/h where i will certainly be spanked by the 3 series.Anyway,my SL is a monster on the road and certainly attract more attention than an M3 does,but wait a second..paying 104,000 EUROs,i would not like to see an M3 passing me at any given speed,i really should think about modifying my car to be over 600hp in order to compete with the new ///M3 or RS4 which are absolute rippers .

I think you came to the wrong place to cry about your supposed weak car. Your lack of knowledge coupled with your anus dripping of BMW motor oil will not find you sympathy here. So you got your *** handed to you, probably as usual, but since that really doesnt happen to anyone here i dont know what to tell you pal. Oh while your whimpering over your loss, go over to www.dragtimes.com and peruse the time slips and dyno figures, should be a good read. Good luck!!!

32 Mercedes-Benz CLS 55 AMG 1.26.9
38 BMW M3 CSL 1.28.0
59 BMW M3 1.31.8

Dude nobody cares about your BMW , infact you are making bimmer owners look silly. Let me know when you actually line your SL 55 against an M5.
Look at the drag times bro, the E55 OWNS THE M5 OWNS

Of course you are BSing so no point arguing...but I wanted to say that nobody gets an SL55 just for speed. There is so much more to this car than that.

Its very odd that the CLS55 AMG was quicker on that track than Porsche GT3, M3, and SL55. If you look at Top Gear times, SL55 only managed 1.33.2! Are they saying CLS55 is much, much faster on track than SL55. This is impossible, the conditions had to be different on these runs or its a typo. For example, check out Evo's times from Bedford Autodrome below where non CSL M3 is faster by almost 6 seconds and SL55 is obviously much faster than a CLS55 which is expected based on common sense:
Porsche GT3 RS: 1.23.85
BMW M3 CS: 1.29.80
Mercedes SL55 AMG: 1.30.05
Mercedes CLS55: 1.35.50
The Top Gear times for CLS55 has to be a typo.
