I mean i have no experience with a SL65, but does the driver really suck? or would a gallardo really take the 65 like that?

I think with equal drivers they should be closer than the vid shows. Gallardo was already shifted down in prep for the race.

'22 Alpina B7,'21 G63 Renntech obviously (wife), Wrangler(kids)
That was the already discredited allanlambo's vid.
A real lengthy discussion here if you bother to search.

Top down difference?

Does it make much of a difference aerodynamically if the SL65 had it's top down?

I recognize the 'G' driver as an AZ local........AlanLambo. His main purpose is to be annoying, and create fighting on the net. He is part of the dreaded species, 'internetus toughguyous' (internet tough guy). He actually showed up at an event. Aside from the fact that not a sole spoke with him, he was a very meek, mousey guy. After all the posts that I read that this guy wrote on various forums, and the fights, I expected a pretty bold, dominant personality. NOT!

The video was a set up to cause controversey among AMG people. Period!

LOL - Your description of him made me recall the new country song where the guy singing the song is about 180-degrees from what he portrays on the internet. It's not unusual to find people who can't function in a normal social structure (wall-flowers) to find solace in the unanimity of the computer screen.

This was the video with Rob's SL65 he just bought and it had bad intercoolers. They got it fixed the next day but no more video. A proper running SL65 will destroy a Gallardo no matter what year. One Gallardo in history got into the 11's in the 1/4. The TTG's are another story.

Yea if the gallardo was stock, I thought a SL55 might not take it. But a SL65, I know that car can eat a gallardo alive.
