Just how fast is a AMG MB?

Tony B.96LT4 · 05-07-05, 02:42 PM

Does anyone here have the answer, Glenn?

I say they (SL-55 AMG) run in the mid 12's. Glenn or anyone else know?

MSRP $124,020*
EngineAMG-built supercharged 5.5L 24-valve V-8 engine
Net Power493 hp @ 6,100 rpm
Net Torque516 lb-ft @ 2,750 - 4,000 rpm

Here's what I was able to get out of it and it was 100% showroom stock, street tires amd I don't know how to drive an Automatic too well at the track. (that was evident if you were there)

This is the largest of all the AMG cars Mercedes offers too. The S55, 4 door sedan weighing in at 4862 lbs.

With only a 2.030 60' it turned 12.567 @ 117mph

My first attempt at the track was pretty funny. I pulled up to the line and all of a sudden I'm staging with my right foot on the brake and then I think, "I can't do it this way" I quick swap feet and all of a sudden they flash a Pro Tree at me. I was lost, I spun horriblly and still ran 13.237 @ 111.

I ran it 6 times, 1st 2 were in the low 13's then 12's the rest of the day.

A fun car, but not really designed for the track.

It was great going out to dinner with Pat Saturday night..

The S55 probably weighs 1000+ lbs more than the SL55 by the way.

The SL55 is the 2 seat roadster

Way to go Glenn...
You hit it right on for sure..
I thought 12.9... haha!
The MPH BLOWS away mine of 115.55...

Love to see what that could do with some drag radials & traction!
12.1?????? 120+ MPH???????

I thought there was a guy at E-Town at the first ECSCC race that had one of these running 12.3's Maybe Rose remembers. The car was awesome!

That was an E55, much smaller car and he had done some work to that car. I was talking to him that day.

Al Betz · 05-08-05, 01:52 PM

Didn't know that you talked with him. That E was a nice machine and I'm sure the S is finer still. Very Cool!
