had a ride in an sl55 amg mate and that was unbelievably quick, they call them the rolling thunder at the merc garage across the road from mine. i dint even look at the speedo lol

bollox to mercs lmao :lol:

i've been out in a few beemers that have been very rapid.

we hit the 155mph limiter in a m coupe (obviously on a private road, a technition had just fixed it )

funny you should say that cuz we got a 52 plate m3 smg on trade in at work and it aint as impressive as that sl55 was

[novamadman]

m3 wud not see the way the cl55 goes

m3 beats a rb5 subaru

Merc ML 430 beats an M3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but this thing it is just raw power even when u go past 100mph u are still pinned to the back of the seat its awesome

i managed to get the Merit 2mm off touching 0mph again (roughly an indicated 155mph)
unfortunately thats only 140mph in real life (measured on GPS) however as most speedos overread - even 140mph in a brand new merc could technically be anywhere between 140 and 126mph realtime... lol

[novamadman]

u got a camera phone?? if so pm me your mobile number ill send it to you witht he clock reading 140mph before lifting off lol if uwant that is

whatever speed it was it was fast enough for me

lol - i'd have much more faith in a speedo from a brand new merc being alot more accurate than nova clocks. :roll:

m3 beats a rb5 subaru
The RB5 isn't that fast, its only 215ish bhp iirc

Subarus arte not fast cars full stop.

A CL or SL 55AMG is a proper car, I know I've driven both, Only thing I don't like about the mercs is the layout of everything and being any merc on the inside just looks the same as a basic (ish) one.

Drove a S55 AMG which was just as luxury as you get, If I had that much money then I would consider one to do some motorway miles in.

these days though if you wanted comfort and speed then you would be stupid not to choose the New BMW M5, I've not been out in one yet but the reviews say it all and a mate of mine went for a spin in one with his camera and they just pull like fook, so much power and comfort, more than I would know what to do with lol
