Ben's SL65 Page

[Yes, I am that crazy]

When Mercedes announced that they were producing a >600HP convertible with a warranty, I knew I had to find a way to get one into my garage. This Silver Arrow anniversary edition made its home in the space vacated by my much-missed (but rarely driven) 2001 Viper RT/10. From day 1, it impressed me as fast, smooth, fast, comfortable, and did I mention FAST? I didn't suspect it would be as fast as it actually was, however:

Yes, that's my bone stock SL65 running 125.6 MPH in the 1/4... Woah!!

For my next trick, I'm having the ECU reflashed to take advantage of the extra power latent in the engine, and heading back to the 'strip with some real tires.

Want to see what it's like to ride along in this monster? Here's the video!
