jazz1 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Well couple weeks ago my brother picked up the SL of Chris on here with the plate, what a beast of a car. Then couple days ago my dad picked up the Rs4 with minor front end damage his mate bought it brand new last year. Good thing I'm insured to drive them all so can't wait to test the power although I'm bit scared of the Mercedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Not driven the RS4, but the SL55 will be fun. All round similar performance to a top BPU Supra (acceleration to maybe 80 will be quicker in the SL) they sound fantastic too Does it have the glass roof? Quite a common option, and one that really makes it a car for all occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 I don't think it has, yea it does sound awesome but deffinatly a pussy magnet no one looked at my supra when we went cruising . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Id love a spin in both of those, especially the Merc. That front plate is gonna attract attention, if you know what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 It did but only because he bought the plate last week, otherwise the cops were ok. The power in the Mercedes is brutal in a comfortable way, better than the shit M3 E46 he had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Lovely car the SL55 AMG, plenty of grunt and very comfy for the long journeys. A friend has one I get to drive every now and again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Expensive on juice though my brother put half tank cost 70 pounds. Single figure mpg (or close to) is the order of the day with extended WOT blasts Supercharged V8s are thirsty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm still tempted by an SL55 AMG to replace the Supra... I'd just prefer if they had a proper manual box, and didn't weigh as much as a semi-detached house. Lovely cars though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just prefer if they had a proper manual box, and didn't weigh as much as a semi-detached house. Lovely cars though. The Gearbox is good for for 99% of the time, and I'm yet to drive a Mercedes with a nice manual gearbox the only thing hat let's the SLs gearbox down is the cheap feeling shift buttons on the wheel. Dynamically it's very good too, despite its weight. It's only let down by pretty lifeless steering.(a foible with most modern GTs I've driven) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
