My Ride: 2008 535i
Options: Sports Pkg/ Premium Pkg/ Navigation/ USB(iPod)
Mods: Tint (lolololol) any ideas?
I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
(WAAAAAYYYYY better than my previous MB E350, but quite a bit more expensive :( )
Today I got to drive my friends 2008 SL 55 AMG and that thing was beyond amazing. I haven't been able to drive and M car yet, and that was my first AMG, but I mean: WOW! 5.5 Liter V8 Supercharged engine is a force to be reckoned with. I thought my 535i was fast, but this thing is simply put: *&)#$(*@#&)$(*@#&)$(*@
I suggest everyone should go and test a SL AMG if they let you.....
It's great
.....and you have to have the top down

MB's are for retirees, try the M5 THEN let us know which you like - trust me I have driven both and all I can say is: The M5 is simply better than sex, period!!!

I don't care if M5 can corner better, I'll blow pass you in straightline after the corner!!

My friend has one, and when I drove it, the car was pretty impresive and it was still stock. He now added a 150 shot of nitrous, upgraded intercooler, exhaust, intake etc. I'm affraid to drive it now and my weekend warrior is a ~450 hp Supra. The torque on the SL55 is nasty!!

A stock M5 cannot compete with a stock E55, E63, SL55 or SL63 in a 0-60 sprint. The AMG engine is a torque monster. The M5 V10 makes its power up high in the rev range.

True, but if you want a drag racer -get a Camaro. I have always felt any idiot can go fast straight, and after having been a road racer I still feel that way. Things change quite a bit when there's turns - actual skill is involved.
