SL55 at the strip

We had a rental at the local track this weekend. (Ponce, Puerto Rico) I couldn't make it, sigh, but I love this video and hope you do too.

You guys are a tough crowd. I see 10's as soon as grip is acquired. I don't know what mods the car has …. if any … ha! How many videos do you see from so close? See the nose lift until traction was lost? Great stuff if you ask me. Love it!

60' was 1.79 so traction was pretty solid (Vid showed minimal whl spin)

I "believe" it has stock manifolds and exhaust. I know a few Weistec cars here in P.R. but I don't think this is one of them. (sounds like it though) The next rental I attend I'll corner the guy and find out what I can. 1.79 isn't a bad 60'. I've managed a 1.7 with my 3.2 so I expect better from this SL with better grip. I just love the video. The dark, the smoke, the sounds, the angle. It just makes me tingle.
