R&T Test of SL65 Black Series

I know it isn't W211 related but I thought it would interest everyone.
The car is obviously having serious traction issues when the 200+lbs heavier SL65 was recently tested at 3.7 0-60. Also bear in mind that the 126.3mph trap speed would translate to about 124.7mph on a 1/4 mile track. I think with drag radials this is a 11.2s car right out of the box with no other mods.
Also, notice that the rev limiter has moved up to 6,400 up from 6,000 rpm on other 65s.
