Ever race an SL600?
I was stopped at a light and this SL does a quick lane change to pull up next to me. I look over and I don't see any tags on the side of the car to indicate that it is an AMG or a V12 so I decided it must be an SL550. I figured I would quickly dispose of him but there was too much traffic so I pulled out then backed off. He did a flyby, which is when I noticed it was an SL600.
So how do you think it would have turned out if the race was on? I am 99% sure he was unmodded. Very few modded MB's here in Pittsburgh.

Stock vs stock good race.

I am out by the airport, but frequent the North Hills.
Carmodies anyone?

My SL600 is 4470lb with an 1/8 tank of fuel, without me in it.

DAMMIT!
4370. You're right. I had to dig up that pic.
This weight was with stock 18" wheels too, and the jack and spare still in the trunk, if memory serves. I always think it's heavier....

a Rivera...via a Custom 24, Strat and Les Paul
OP - my only experience is running against Clayton and everytime it's not even close - I get spanked left and right...I have a K2+ and Clayton only runs an ECU and TCU. Clayton may be a *****ty driver but the car more than makes up for his short-comings

I'll beat you in my car, then swap keys with ya, and beat you in your own car.
