I think this is going to be a pretty sick movie since we actually get to see those exotics in action other then just sitting there. I will go see it...

Either one is fine with me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif If I had the SL65 I'd go with much wider tires on the rear to get some traction... thats one problem I've seen reported with them is a total lack of traction at WOT.

Funny thing is they arn't running anywere near full power. That car can easily push out another 2-300whp and 300+ tq with more boost. As you said though, problem is the tires dont hold as is.

Even the E55's had traction issues. IIRC the rear brakes engage just enough to hold traction. Put some stickier tires back there and even the E55s will sink 11sec ET's.

Yep, you are totally right. I forgot the name of the company but there is a company that tunes Mercedes' that will get that extra 2-300+ HP / tq out of the car. Of course, then you have even more serious traction issues even with the biggest tires you can fit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Maybe sacks of concrete in the trunk? *laughs*

Atleast these are REAL sports cars, not $20k jap burners with $200k into them just to run a 10 sec 1/4 mile.

No argument there. These cars are solid, they are capable of 12s stock //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Not economy vehicles on sterioids. I can respect what they do though, but not those stupid kids that put an intake/exhaust on a honda and drive it like a race car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

As Jacob mentioned, traction is the biggest problem with these cars though. You're basically limited to babying them. You cant really get on it until your going well over 100+ mph. Anything below that, even 345s will turn to liquid.

This really goes for any RWD car that puts down over 600+ whp.
