jassim why do you spam the page with the same question? all cars you ask come standart with speed limter set to 250km/h... only a few have the factory option with removed speed limiter or set to a higher topspeed. If there is no 0-300km/h time claimed the car was never tested 0-300kmh

jassim 8 months ago
Because CarGuy in the forum said that SL55 AMG from 0-300 in just 32.5 second & he said it's a proven numbers!!!

BumRush 8 months ago
No thats for the SL65 AMG, in away its kinda hard to believe thiose numbers. but than again it does have all that power and torque, i didntthink it would beat a Carrera Gt to 186mph, but a test will always prove.

Georg 8 months ago
the 32.5s was indeed tested by the german car magazine auto motor und sport in 2001 at a highspeed compare at the Nardo high speed track in Italy. BUT... there is a good reason why this number is not shown here...
1. Mercedes offered at that time only a 300km/h(186mph) speed limiter option.. the tested car reached 325km/h (202mph)
2. because of the extrem good 0-300time (it was much faster than GT2, Murcielago, Vanquisch, Ferrari 550) the tester belived they recived a special prepared car from Mercedes
3. to get that in the right view.. at that test the SL55 AMG was nearly 30sec quicker to 300km/h than the more powerfull and lighter Ferrari 550

yes the tested car did realy that number... was the tested SL55 AMG stock... 99.99% no it was not...

I have owned an sl55 for five years. The staggering performance only becomes apparent over 120mph.
From here on up to 200mph its torque and not peak horsepwer that matters. The sl wins out here because of the torque curve created by the supercharger. I have thrashed every supercar whose driver has had the guts to take it up in the 120-150's and over. Porsche GT3's, Vanquish s' ferraris, they simply wilt. They fade in the rear view mirror.

LOL to actually think you beat a GT3,Vanquish ans some Ferrari with this LOL and if you did no, this dont go no 200mph, so if your going to say that claim, say its not stock, then people could actually believe you.

I removed the limiter in the first year,apart from that it has clean filters,no mods atall.The supercharger pushes 11.5 lds (this equates to 10 litres normally aspirated) The car may be heavy but it is slippery.Alot of cars are quick up to 120 or 130mph but they simply dont have the shear grunt around 150 or more. Believe me the sl does,and in trouncing bucket loads. I suspect 95% of supercar owners don't have the guts to play at very high speeds.The sl has a very high top speed and it is still accelerating very hard at 150mph. There is plenty of evidence to support this all over the net.

This is a 500 car stock. Of course it will beat GT3, Vanquish and V8 Ferraris in a high speed street race.

Anonymous 1 month ago
This has 493bhp, it will not beat a GT3 to 186mph, nor a 430, Vanquish, Maybe. even after is a guess.

FastestLaps 1 month ago
It will beat GT3, Vanquish and F360 no doubt. And 493 hp ~ 500 hp car. Stop nit-picking.

Anonymous 1 month ago
F360 Yes, but not a GT3, GT3 is 1000+lbs Lighter, and has a slightly better Cd, same with the F430, it wont beat them, power isnt everything, and its not nit-picking, its truth!

Take a look at this

That's E55 vs 997 GT3 RS. It's not hard to imagine SL55 vs 996 GT3.

GT3 are not dragsters.

Anonymous 1 month ago
Im not talking about a 996 GT3, im talking about the 435bhp 997 911 GT3, that will even beat the SL63, but, a SL55 vs 996 GT3 would be an interesting match nontheless.

gt 1 month ago
what are we talking about here?? tuned vs stock??

stock to stock gt3 will win

modded ecu SL 55 AMG vs 996 gt3 200km/h to 300km/h the Mb will win

Anonymous, I think you have lost this argument. 997 vs SL55 is not a fair comparison to begin with. 997 GT3 was introduced 4 years (!) after SL55.

This guy says he has owned SL55 for 5 years which means those GT3 must have been against 996.

Anonymous 1 month ago
He didnt exactly specify which GT3. but if were going to go that route, just put a 525bhp SL63 vs a 435bhp GT3 II, and its still going to be an interesting match to see a 380bhp GT3 vs a 493bhp Sl55, you also have to remember its all in the drivers, not just the cars.

At very high speed weight becomes less of a problem, the real problem is cd. The sl is quite good here. The sl's real advantage is the torque. It has much more than most other cars, and at very high speed this shows through. Does anyone know who can mod this car without causing damage? I see alot of people in tha states are doing this

try evotech they can hook you up with 650hp maybe less for your "02 MB sl55"
