Very quick car, all we need now is someone with an SL55/65 to do the same! Looks to me to confirm sub 5 seconds to 60 and sub 10 seconds to 100 and I doubt there are many cars where you could do the same with so little drama.
This video shows how the gear ratios of the 5 speed are spaced out compared to the 7 speed on the SL500 where the revs drop less when it changes.

It was a thrill
This was the hardest I ever drove this car, it was a blast, the power is amazing, the control is amazing, it definately feels like there is plenty more power to go well past 110.

It probably is
This car probably is capable of it, but since it is electronically limited at 155 it would take some modifications to find out. Some of the performance upgrades offered on the market raise the limited speed up from 155. Maybe someone with Renntech would know the true speed the car is capable of.

196
196, that would be scary.
I wish my town had some sort of auto track where individuals like myself could go out and really test the performance of their automobiles, but so far I have not been able to come across anything.
