I thought this car had insane power??
Does your SRT put more power down, or is it a weight thing?
Or was the driver really fat?? lol
ha! funny you should mention that, my buddy who drives the SL55 is quite, uh, 'portly.' sacrifices much of his exercise life to own some nice cars! his SL55 also has bigger wheels and k&n air filters. weight and drag coefficient definitely at play here. also, i weigh a very meager 135lbs! my hatch is gutted, with resonator delete(resonator weighed 25lbs) and cat delete which reduced a few more pounds, i also have a 17lbs racing battery, and my new suspension components are lighter as well (springs and shocks.)
the SL has tons of sound-dampening material, AMG cars test very high in decibel tests for motor trend. the SL55 weighs as much as a small SUV.
