How Fast........

is a mercedes SL-55 AMG? It looked brand new and
fast. never seen this model before. I came up on
it real fast to see what it was on the freeway.
When I found out, I got cold feet. Did not want
to look to much like a fool thinking I was
faster knowing that I might get my doors blown
off. What do you guys think?

AMG C32 has more punch and is the MB sleeper.

They're not that quick. I never choose the CL55 when playing Need For Speed Hot Pursuit II. The SLK-GTR is the Benz to have.

Most of the turbocharged yugo's as well as some of the big block vega's can be troublesome. Careful of the guy with the red white and blue Pacer, not so much for how fast he is, but more for the fact that he has those james bond 007 oil slick squirters he shoots at ya once he is in the lead.
