I love the video! Take that thing to a racetrack!




(although for going that fast on city streets... I'd guess the SLR hit 140+)

Ben,

The car that is taking off in the back ground at start of vid is a F355 with his new carbon fiber intake.

I was going to edit the video but I thought it added to the experience. I was riding shot gun with the video camera and my brother was driving my E55. He smooked the brake on the first run. He is not used to the brake by wire and nailed the brakes and they did not grab like his supra so he left the same pedel presure all the way from 130-10mph. rotors are blue. but the SLR did not feel anything brake were cool and not even smoking. SLR is the shizel!!!!

I was the girl laughing and that much hp and torque I could not control myself. Jamm55 I invited all so cal guys to come watch??

I have about 10 minutes of footage and will edit it again to make a kill video. I will video the E55 exterior, interior and long smoky burn out. Then edit them together with 2 other races not shown in this video.

SLR is insane. If you listen to the last run the SLR spins tire in first then traction control hits then we real my E55 in. 3rd gear was sick how hard we passed the E55. Some may ask why we did not do a heads up race?

I have shot many car race videos from the passenger seat and with cars that can not even keep up from the start the videos are lame and you can not see the full effect of the extra HP the SLR has. Example Supra TT Bpu+++ Vs an M3. I would just say go then follow the E55 back until the air brake comes up and blocks the view. This way we get to see the E55, which is no slouch, be the rabbit and work hard to stay out front and you can see the raw HP take the E55 over. We left drive skills out of this race. We had one shot and maybe 2-3 miles to shoot it, so I said lets put the rabbit out there. At the last light the SLR spinns so hard in first and the E55 hooked up straight up no tire spin at all.

One of funnest runs ever. I hope I get to run in an Enzo or Carrera GT some day??? If so video will be in hand.

Keep us updated on if you will be taking it to the track, I'm sure there are a lot of people here including myself that would come out to see that.

Funny,

I call SLR owner today to tell him how crazy that video is and he is. We were at 140+ and if you pause the film at one point you can see the dash at 125mph at 5500 rpm.

I ask him to take the SLR to the speedway this Saturday and he said ok!! wow but no promisses because untill I have the video I don;t beleive it will happen. But he did say we can hot lap again to shoot another video. This time I will take one of his Gallardo or if he gets in a Diablo I will take that out against the SLR. He does not think he will get an Enzo or Carrera any time soon so what else can hang with the SLR???????????????????

And by the way my E55 feels smoked today the SLR drained its *** hard.

Yes,

I know Doug. He is a client and good friend of mine. I helped him with the purchase of his local estate home and also gave him the loan. caliber is in the video and so is DC Motors www.dontdrivejunk.com

We refer all our client to each other. I also help his customers get home loans to buy his high end cars. Works great for all. Get a 2000 ish 911 TT for $400 per month.

Listen close to the click before we take off. That is the gas pedel hitting the floor. So yes it was gunned or that was all it had. No ***** footing around in Anaheim Hills. If that was not enough then you may need to change hobies. Like I said before what do I have to look forward to? Enzo, Carrera GT? My dads Ford GT will be in soon. Video of the ford Gt at the same spot to compare the 2 SLR vs 05 Ford GT now that is a heads up race and I would put the money on the Ford GT. but not alot say 10 bucks. May make them both push cars harder.

A RENNtech SL65 may give the SLR a run for its money - more HP and much more midrange torque. Other than that, you're into serious exotics for comparable vehicles.

I don't know if the 65 can make up the weight difference though. 3700lbs to 4500lbs is a whole lot.
