Was at a light just minding my own business with my top down listening to the radio and a convertible SL500 pulls up at the light and revs his engine...Light turns green and we both hit the gas...my car propells about 3 car lengths from the take off and were going about 50 or so and i continue to make the gap larger but after passing the second light i just slowed down and made a turn...I proved my point to a probably amazed SL500..He had to be feeling a little disturbed!!

I think some people feel that $ = speed. Although that CAN be true, it isn't always. That makes it fun for us!

+1. Since I've had my 335i, I've noticed that some of the biggest, craziest, cocky as$holes are driving like they're ready to die (and/or kill someone else in the process) in their "big, bad" MB's...not sure what it is about these guys who drive them (besides the cockiness), but some of them are just nuts!

A completely stock 335i should be a match for the 2007 SL550. Thing weighs 4200 lbs.

My father just took delivery of a CL500 (V8 not the 12). Took it for a spin and think the 335 even in stock is far superior in terms of acceleration and handling.

However if you like you luxury & a dodgy idrive copy then the MB is your car. The interior is very nice.

I experienced that a few times in the old ride. It was sweet slamming them in a <30k american car. I can't stand cocky assholes of any stripe, and MB guys seemed the worst.

Actually a V6 Honda Accord 6spd coupe will give a SL500 a run for its money. They are very slow. I gave the 500HP AMG SL55 a good run at LACR. He was running 13.40 to my 13.46

yeah those SL500s are pretty slow....i would like to try and drive the new SL550 though...

The SL500 is not really a fast car. If you would have raced to 100mph, he would have been 8 cars behind you.
