Default raced my boyz S55 AMG.

we were rollin untill about 20-30km and then we both jumped. we were side by side and started pulling ahead in 4th untill we shut down..

its an unblievable feelin when a four banger eats and 8.

Lay down the crack pipe. No stock (or even nearly stock) S2000 is going to be faster in any way than an SL55 AMG.

I can't see it myself either, unless it's purely down to driver!

493 bhp @6100 supercharged
automatic (all?)
but 4310 lbs (wow, that's a lot of weight)

hmmmm.....i love my car, but i think the SL55 will be able to pull on an S (in most cases). maybe up top the S will do well against it (155 max top speed..or so it says), but i doubt down low. oh well, he doesn't knwo how to drive that car, considering it's his dad's....sooooo, it could be believable. at least you're keeping him from talking too much trash about his DAD's car. that in itself is good enough!

He was talking about the "S55", AMG S-class sedan with ~350hp, not the new SL55 (~450hp).


0-60mph
SL55 AMG 4.5s
SL500 6.0s
S55 AMG 5.7s
S2000 5.6s -5.8s


Besides the SL55, other 3 cars are pretty close, up to the drivers.
