SLS GT3 up close and personal
Just a short post with some pics of SLS GT3 up close. I will post later more pics and video of some laps. There are three cars been tested here for the 14 teams who have preordered it. Truly a amazing machine and words cannot describe the performance.

Yes but is simply brutal in nature. Best comparison is it is like going from C63 to SLS when you compare it to SLS. Loud, and I mean loud. The racing slicks stick no matter what but when then they let go, they let go. And no ESP at all to save your a--! Here is the best thing. AMG Academy is looking at using the GT3 as the car for their Masters Series next year here in Europe vs. using SLS like this year. Now that will be fun if it comes off!

Here is the really exciting thing out of the event. The AMG Academy here in Europe is considering moving their Masters series from the current SLS to the SLS GT3 car which means that you would do these events in this beast. I am sure that it won't be cheap, as the Masters this year was like $9,100 per event, but on the other hand what other company offers the chance to drive a $500,000 GT race car on world-class tracks all inclusive? Just might have to go for it if it comes off that the GT3 is the car for the series.
