Mercedes SL65 v SL600... 65AMG handicapped??
In their SL65 test, Car & Driver blasted the AMG car to 60MPH in 3.8 second which, while being unbelievably quick, still falls 0.2 seconds above the time they clocked their SL 600 at (3.6s)
They say it's 'cause both the cars wear tyres of the same width even though the AMG car has 111 mroe horses and 150 more pund-feet to deal with.
So what happens if the AMG uses the SLR's specially constructed Michelin's? Would the timing improve? Also the SL600 they tested had a panaromic roof. Does that reduce weight?
Just wondering how an SL65 could be made to master the insane engine instead of just coping with it.
Sorry for the long post
