SL55 drag racing - Run Video

Racing a good friend in his Bentley Continental GT Speed.

Ambient temp was 82 Degree F.

You can hear my 14months old baby cheering in the background, you can just ignore him if you're not into babies...

Very cool. I have both a SL55 and a Bentley GT Speed. The Bentley is really a fine car but my SL is my all time favorite car.

Nice run. Stock config?

Congrats also on your new addition to the family. My own little guy just turned 11 months recently. It's funny because we usually save these accolades for new vehicles and now we're old enough to be talking about children!
