The SL55 is annoyingly FAST!

I wonder how it owuld have matched a 996 Turbo is even more thrilling. I bet it would be dusted

I know the answer to that one, since I raced both of them the same day with only 5 hours between them. The 996 woul be humiliated, dusted or killed bad,........... your choice.........

look at my new thread in the race section.

By a lot tfung
If 550 and Vanquish in the 0-300 test were behind it BAD, I think something like 30 secs or so then M5...I don't want to think.
The car in the test had more power, but still the outcome would be roughly the same, read BAD
By the way guys, if anyone gets to test drive it, you have to tell us what its like, it's a criminal offence not to disclose such information I don't think anyone has driven it yet?
