Well i do lanscaping and one of our customers is a super rich guy who loves his 2003 sl500. Up here in canada, its roughly a 100,000 dollar car, so you can imagine the look on his face when my 6000 dollar car won. Got a little jump on the take off and held it threw. Score one for the little guy! But we are gonna have to see next time, he took it pretty hard and says hes gonna get some toys put on his sl500 now, and trust me, moneys no object for this guy. He owns 3 of the same car, one for him, his wife, and an extra cause they gave him a good deal for buying a third! So im gonna enjoy it while it last!

 

Nice kill. How much power do the 500's have? Well, that really sucks for him, I mean him spending all that money to get beat by you, that's just great. Now you got him all mad and he'll probably go back and trade them in for the AMG models. So yeah you better enjoy it.

 

If he shows up with an AMG E55, just throw mulch in his face to get the jump... ...Good kill...

That's weak!!!!!!!! I thought they had around 360 or higher. That rich boy better put some mods on his car, or get a 600. Or save himself a lot of money and get a Camaro.

 

ya i thought maybe he was just a bad driver, but after looking it up, they only got 300 horse and to top that off, the little 2 seater weights in at 4000 pounds!

 

It weighs 4000 lbs because the SL is a hardtop convertible. They've basically been the same 300hp car for 15+ years now.

 

I tried an SL 55 AMG on I-95 outside of Miami. Utterly stomped, it was nothing for him to run away.

But it was fun beating an NA Carrera with the top down. The guy in it was goggly eyed and quickly started weaving in and out of traffic at high speed after I slowed down and let him pass.

 

The E55's are SICK. GF's old boss had one and drove it to work every day...
