Sl65

[gary350]

Did anyone see the test of the SL65 on that sky channel Auto Mundail(something like that) it was on their maxi test, you would have to be suicidal to buy one after that, the tester had a job to keep the thing on the road with or without tech aids. The comment after was that it was a motorway car only.

Who was doing the driving? I find it hard to believe that the AMG could be as bad as that. I got chewed up and spat out by an SL55 in the Lanes outside of Bath when I still had my mkIII MR2. Thats saying something, because the roadster was the best handling car I have ever had and nothing ever got close to me in those lanes. But the SL was untouchable

I think an SL65 is the same as viagra. It arouses both genders however.

To show you how bad the car handled they took you on a lap of some circuit with the camera behind the driver his hands were all over the place, and he did not appear to be going mad either, just too much power on tap. The car did not go off the road just twitched on most of the bends.

There is a very old saying, "It's not what you got. It's the way that you use it."

Surely that footage says more about the driver than the car?

Morning everyone,

Angus tracks his, says it amazingly civilised for anything this powerful

Did 205 mph down the 2 and 1/2 mile straight at Bruntingthorpe. (only beaten on the day by a RUF racing modded Porsche)
