Manufacturer's vs. real world power
 

:rofl: I love Mercedes-Benz

So, take a regular SL65 rated at 604 HP and 738 TQ - put it on crack and call it an SL65 Black Series rated at 670 HP and 738 TQ

Dyno it and you get: 573 rwhp @ 5300 rpm and 682 rwtq @ 3620 rpm. Those numbers are through a 5 speed automatic tranny.

The torque is just plain uber sexy!!!! advertised 738 tq??? :rofl:

mercedes should probably make diesel trucks. not the big box trucks and semi's, like medium duty trucks like f-350 and 3500 HD chevys. that would be noice!

Not bad for $300,000.

Of course a $125,000 zr1 with a tune will probably do that too. :P



(ugh, I sound like Al, I feel dirty)

:rofl: I have more chance of getting my hands on the black series than the vette.

I think we were supposed to get one shortly after I went out for surgery - DOH!

If you need help test driving that car I might be able to find time, because i am swell like that.

:shock::shock: id sport it with a stogie......:twisted:

I <3 the Black Series. One of my favorite Mercedes products lately. I think I saw one at a dealership over by the GW in the window, I forgot what town but it was in Kasey's neck of the woods.

Didn't one of the magazines do a shoot out of advertised vs. actual power a few years ago?

ZR1 ftw!

the SL65 BS is my dream car, ridic power and looks just nasty

Lol my uncle is looking for a ZR1. I told my dad to tell him I want to drive it and his response was "Only 3 people are driving that car: Me, myself, and I."
