SUPERCHARGED vs. TURBOCHARGED
I'm sure EVERYBODY would be willing to wake up early on Saturday to see this ...
We can throw the stock clutch in it and do that if you want. Were not in Orange County but I'm sure we can meet up somewhere and have some fun driving around if you want. Maybe you can come up and we can go on one of the Platinum cruises. We always go on them and there's lots of nice cars that like spirited driving.
You would have to come up to LA for that as they usually start in Hollywood but that's not to far. If you want you can meet up with us at the shop and we can cruise up from there.
I'm sure we will get a ton of chances to line up and have some fun.

I just flew into Monterey tonight, headed to Laguna Seca. I have Skip Barber Pro Race School for the next three days and then I am running my SLS in the USCA race at Laguna Seca next weekend, headed back down to OC Sunday night. I will be around thru the middle of next week(possibly longer), I would not mind heading up to LA, maybe do some Mulholland runs with the SLS's

Everyone should be waking up just because these events are a really good time to begin with. We will be there as usual and we will make sure that we have lots and lots of cameras mounted on the cars.

I'm sure Rob will post the flyer soon but we meet up in Hollywood in the morning and go on a spirited drive to a predetermined location that they usually announce that morning. It usually starts pretty early so the streets are relatively clear.
We'll see how many Mercedes guys are going and maybe we can all head out for lunch somewhere afterwards.

We will be there with our SLS Twin Turbo, E63S, ML63, and possibly our S. We just got a G63 but that may be under the knife at that time.
We should get a decent group of Mercedes guys together to come to this.
JRCart----Are you up for a run from Hollywood to Malibu? It should be a fun ride but it would be a lot more fun if you were there with your car.

SLS is down in Dallas right now, I ran the USCA event at Texas Motor Speedway with it last weekend. My C BS is still out in OC however. I don't think SLS will be making it's way back west until SEMA in November. Slight possibility I may run the USCA event at Fontana in June but that's going to be a long shot since I have the USCA race at Daytona the following weekend.
We were looking forward to having some fun with another forced induction SLS out there. There should be a few other Black Series SLS's and regular SLS's at the event but I doubt any of the other ones will be set up like yours. Do you know of any other supercharged SLS's out here? If you do you should get in touch with them and tell them about the run. Maybe you should bring the C black series out, that would be a good car for the run. Hopefully we see you out there, should be fun and it would be good to have some more Benz's at the show.
I guess we will stick to running with some Aventadors, Mclarens and 458's on April 5th.
I hear Mercedes just signed up for a booth at the SEMA show yesterday. What are you gonna do for SEMA this year, same car with no changes?

A C-Class Black Series vs. a twin turbo SLS is like bringing a knife to a gun fight ... lol
All kidding aside, it really is too bad.
I know myself along with alot of others were really hoping to see both monsters out here ...

That's too bad. Did you ever come out to LA the other week, I never heard from you.
