Default SLR > E55

This is how an E55 gets spanked by another stock Merc.

i'm slightly confused here... isn't slr tuned by mclaren and much faster(not to mention far more costly) than an e55?

on a much minor note, the video clip looks like some dealership frat boys racing on public street, disregarding public's safety. but that's ok, i can catch up with them with my stock gs300 and give them a good lickin'

yup, that's on public street and yes, the slr is done by mclaren. but it's still "stock" from factory

and yeah, it's kinda a retarded race imho. it's like racing my gs4 with a stock civic... if the slr lose now that's an internet news

Someone please do a race between the SLR and SL65.

The loser of the two must have more torque!
