Very nice car, nice movie!

Just two things, the steering wheel is on the wrong side and the Brabus exhaust sounds not that good as the original AMG...........

Hi, AMG55lover thanks for your comment, I am in England so the steering wheel is on the right side (for UK)
As for the exhaust note, I find it has much deeper note than the original AMG and louder, however the note does change quite a bit when driven hard at high revs, the sound becomes more high pitched like a big high revving motor bike engine!!!
to me it sounds great.

During that video when you burn it off and you mate says "i didnt catch that good" you can hear the car change gear and the same noise happens on mine.

Its like a screech or could even be a slipping belt noise?

I thought it was from the gearbox in my car can anyone shed some light?

Nice car by the way.

Chris.

The Car is an original Brabus SL55 K8 so it has been lowered via a reprogrammed ABC module by brabus, I think it has been lowered by around 15mm which is the lowest level.
I am not quite sure but I think that the Brabus lowering module can be purchased seperately or maybe the original one can be reprogrammed!
