SLS Quarter

Hey does any one have the time/speed for a quarter mile for the new SLS AMG. I have seen 0-60 3.8 sec and 0-120 12.4 secs. It should be quite quick.

If it's running 127-130, it better be a WHOLE lot quicker than 11.5 (see sig)

I think you're close on ET, but way off on MPH. My guess is, it'll run close to a stock SL65.

Then it's the car to buy, unless you definitely want a convertible
