Default Civic vx. Mercedes sl500

At an undisclosed time and location: Business guy in an Mercedes sl500 got passed by a certain turbo d-series ninja full sleep style in cruising traffic. Couple of screwballs bunch up in the passing lanes, sl500 tries to get a jump and cut off the now alert ninja. Full side by side eye-contact grocery getter 4th gear walking pwnage ensues! Business guy shocked and amazed signals the thumb up.

I don't know why, but it sure is fun beating overpriced underpowered cars. Not saying I wouldn't nut myself to own one....


+2

MSRP $90,620.00*
Engine 5.0L 24-valve V-8 engine
Net Power 302 hp @ 5,600 rpm
Net Torque 339 lb-ft @ 2,700 - 4,250 rpm
Curb Weight 4,012 lb. / 1,820 kg
Top Speed 155.3 mph / 250.0 kph

Slightly more powerful than the last mercedes kill I posted.

Why I'm amazed is I was only pushing 15psi, must have been the cold weather.
