Destroyed by an SL

Wasted by an SL55AMG. On my way over to Virginia tonight, came across an SL cruising along. Nighttime + tinted windows means I couldn't see inside to check out who was driving. But at any rate, as I passed him going about 75, he jumped on it and got behind me to pass up some slower moving cars. As we got into the clear he moved back into an adjacent lane. I immediately punched it, already about 2 cars in front and going ~80. He pulled even by about 90ish, and by 120 when I gave up, he was about 4-5 cars up on me. One of my dream cars...Will have one of my own someday

Re: Destroyed by an SL

What type of car do you drive, Self? If you would have bought my LS1 it might've been close on the juice (Well no it probably still wouldn't be ).

Re: Destroyed by an SL

sound cool. Did it have a really good tone as he passed. IE the monster supercharged V8 sound. Its fucking georgous someone has one on my street. I think the same guy has/had an Aston Martin Vanquish too.

One of my fathers friends has one... damm its sweet!!!
He visited us in august 04... holy shit that was sweet!
I biked down the dirt road leading to our house, and heard a rumbling sound... sure enough, there it was.
He has the sports exhaus, rechipped it, and some SWEET nineteen inchers (he has visited brabus to upgrade further i believe ).
Anyway, i got a ride in it!
With the ESP turned off, he rolled it onto the road, and floored it... shiiiittt.
A local guy in a rieger golf permanently hurt his neck as he watched the SL roar past... all the people in the pub watched it as it came around the roundabout.
The memory of the SL; the cataclysmic trust of that 5.5 litre V8 engine... it will reside in me forever.

SL55AMG..... there aren't many nicer cars on the road. If you're going to go down, thats about as easy a let down as you can have.
