why is it always a Honda Civic ? Same experience on the highway the other day. Waited until we had a clear stretch, let the Civic get up close, then dropped the hammer and watched the Civic get way smaller in the rear view smelling E63 exhaust emissions until i hit 125 to 130. In Comfort mode ...

Funny
Sometimes I see them coming up in the rear view mirror. Best is when there is a couple of them going at it, oblivious. I'll let them go by and then creep up the pace sandbagging. When the moment is right (usually when you hear the fart pipes go to full wail) just drop the hammer to another zip code. Leave zero room for them to do a flyby. Cya.

It is always not a Type R either, there was a joke that when you see a CIVIC, you turn off ESC and put the vehicle in Race mode....
That said, like you said, Comfort will smoke it easily, although someone tested it, Comfort and Sport+ doesn't make a huge difference in acceleration times, not sure if that behaviour was changed in the facelift?
2018, 20k on it. One of my dream cars. I LOVE this car.
Previous MBs included 08 E350 Sport, 2020 E53.
Upgrades so far ...

Lower silver trim, grille horizontal bars painted gloss black
Ceramic window tint (I call bs)

Great color! That looks so good. Nice mods fantastic car
PPF, Llumar Matte
15mm/12mm spacers from Supreme Power - they were awesome to work with
30% window tint, 80% on windshield
Zunsport front grill set
Blacked out front grill, door handles, and trunk chrome. Used vinyl wrap for the door handles and trunk, and Autoflex Coating for the front.
This one angle shows the difference between the matte PPF and factory matte paint but it's not visible otherwise.
Next is removing the secondary cats and adding a JL subwoofer.
gorgeous car...any more pics from the side during the day? trying to decide if 30% tint will work on mine
Son called me at midnight from a gas station - his A250 fuel filler door had the won't open glitch. I went with rulers pry bars and screw drivers and there is no way for a normal human at midnight at a gas station to watch enough youtubes on your phone to get it open. After admitting defeat I realized the dealer was only 7km away so we risked it and drove him on fumes there. 1:00am he was filling out the key envelope while I noticed the framing of my car and snapped a pic. Then took a picture of him dropping his key into the safety box lol.
Dealer was awesome! Called me at promptly at 8:59am and had the car fixed by noon. They even put a massive jerry can of fuel in it so he could make it to a gas station.

Oakville Autohaus for the win... again!
I would thought it was frozen but we are in the middle of summer, there was even hardly any rain this year
I was using a mobile detailing service. After a year my wheels were peeling badly. I guess cleaning wheels is easier when you use harsh chemicals. Fired the detailer, installed non dusting pads, reconditioned the wheels, and replaced the center caps. Just a tiny detail bling.
5 years, 76k miles. Just redid the PPF, new wheels, new splitter.
Next I have to find this damn creak in the rear headliner. I think the sun shade track is loose..
love this car
I've seen several videos/threads about loose screws in the roof. "easily" tightened without completely removing headliner - seems to be a common issue, no threadlocker on the screws
Mercedes SLR McLaren 722 S Is Extremely Rare Example Modified by McLaren
Slideshow: A one-of-one U.S.-spec Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster became even rarer after a factory-backed transformation at McLaren's headquarters.
Black rims look really nice on a white car.
