They are FAST. 0-60 in 4.5 I believe, maybe less.

I think anything short of a well tuned turbocharged s will get spanked. They're as fast/faster than ferrari 360, and lambo murcialago. As oatnet said they are FAST

I doubt they can keep up with a Murcialago, maybe a Gallarado, but not a Murc.

The Sl55 is 2 second faster than a Murcielago from 0-187mph.

I stand corrected! That means that the SLR is going to give my fav F1 a rear run for it's money.
