Very nice and impressive, however, 130K for a 12 flat @118?
How about a 4.6 or 5.0 ci for 35K and a supercharger for around 42K or an h/c/i LSX motor in an Fbody?
I guess though, if you want to go 12's in stlye, then you just go with the Benz. Maybe running 11's rapped in beautiful leather with the AC on and surround sound might be really nice to. :lol1:
Im a little surprised by a number of the responses in this thread. The arrogance and lack of respect from old tech in a 4200/4300lb car is disturbing. Stock for stock the 03 merc will take the new 5.0. When you look at the numbers it is really not close as .3/.4 is significant at the low 12 range!
A little montage of Bens s600 at the track...

To be clear the sl600 is faster stock. The sl600 is faster modded than the new mustang gt. It was faster 8 years ago and its faster today. However they are fun to run!:beer:
