08 GL450
GL 450 is officially stated at 7.4 secs 0-60 but has magazine tested as low as mid 6s.
ML 550 is listed by MBZ as 5.6 secs ( but weighs 640 lbs less than the GL 550)
I predict around 5.3s for ML 550 and 5.9s for the GL 550 in upcoming magazine comparos.

GL450 (Alabaster White/Black Interior)
Mercedes claims:
GL450
0-62mph in 7.2 sec
Vmax 146mph
GL500
0-62mph in 6.5 sec
Vmax 150mph
This is a copy of a post from Benzworld a while back posted by someone who has the GL500. If the GL450 really does zero to sixty in 6.5 seconds then the GL550's 0-60 time should be at least 6.0 seconds or better.

What mathemathical equation did you use to get that number... I need exactness.. Maybe will get 5.0 0-60mph in GL550 with a NOS kit!!! Anyone willing to give up their new GL550 to MTV's "Pimp My Ride".

I bow to stumblefoot who has become obsessed with this specialty previously served at a local casino to NevadaJack on many occasions. Cabbage Soup has become a legend on this forum as part of a prize package for guessing the MSRP of the GL550 prior to introduction. But to all our dismay it is no longer on the menu. Sad story for us all...such expectations dashed by a chef who has no idea of what he has wrought upon us.

So things like Broccoli would taste better in Vegas. Is that right?

As I sit here laughing my head off, I am still soooooo disappointed that I will not be able to have the infamous cabbage soup during the Vegas meet/greet.
Poor Dodson... he's got to think that we really are nuts.
Waiting-4-550... you've never had broccoli in Vegas? You have no idea what you are missing.
