No details on how they are getting another 50hp out of her, but they did.

PRAY/FINGERS CROSSED they removed the top speed limit. How fast do you think you could really get the BS up too??

Yeah I saw that vid on the Tube.

They were still complaining about how the car provided no input for the driver on the track.

Kinda stunned by that statement. This car was really supposed to show the world how AMG/Benz can "do handling"

Keep in mind C&D has never met a Benz they didn't hate.

It does, but i think its due to all the wight the SL-BS carries vs the ZR-1. I would take a SL-BS over a ZR-1 any day but I will give GM kuddo's for building such an awesome car.

I know I'm in the minority around this site, but if money were no object, I would still take the ZR1 over the SL65BS. As far as interior goes, obviously it's no contest... But I'm a numbers guy, and the ZR1 does exactly what it's supposed to do: shatter the competition.

Though I suppose if money were no option I would have one of each

I'm surprised C&D didn't find a way to squish the Viper into second. Biased mag.
