Porsche 550 spyder tire size Videos

Pretty slow for a 650hp 4400 lb SL whatever it is. The SL600's were twin turbo 5.5 lite V12's from 2003 on. They made 493hp/590tq till 2006, the power went up slightly, to 500-510hp and 610-612tq, not enough to make any difference. The SL65 AMG had the 6.0L twinturbo for 604hp/738tq... Now for some performance specs. When the domestic magaines tested a SL600/493hp, they got supposedly a 3.6 sec 0-60. 8.3 0-100 and 11.8@121 mph. Then in 2006, they tested the 100 lb heavier mighty SL65 with 604hp. It did 0-60: 3.6 sec, 0-100: 8.5 and 12.1@120 in the 1/4. Hmmmm, something was not right. Then I actually bought a 2006 SL600. Stock. It did not feel like it could run to 60 in under 4 sec, I was right And ran it against my buddy with his stock 2003 C5 corvette (0-60: 4.7 according to mags)... Well after ten runs, I could not pull more than 5-7 feet on him. I finally decided its likely a 4.5 sec 0-60 machineeels even run with a SL55 which had the same hp but was 130 lbs lighter and, AND a AMG 7 spd, vs the 5 spd auto and gentle gearing in the SL600. So, after talking friend at Car and Driver to hook up a fifth wheel to my car, he ran some hard data,at near sealevel in 64 degree air with a DA of 109 ft above sealevel, excellent conditions, he came back with numbers that confirmed my suspicions: 0-60: 4.6 sec, 0-100: 9.4 sec and 1/4: 12.6@115 mph. So, I asked, how did a SL600 in your mag and another run as fast as a SL65? To which he said, "I think it was tuned", don't share that beyond us. Because my hp and tq over my buddy's vette took over above 80 and I put 1.5 cars on him by the 1/4 in his vette. The SL600 was a reliable car despite my heavy right foot. I just which there was more for less. The few companies that make parts think since it's a 6 figure Benz, that they can charge $3000 for the same exact part on a Honda that sells for $350. Or simple mufflers for $2500. You'd think those small mufflers were made of Diamonds and Gold. All I wanted was to be able to run with the other friend with the SL65 and keep my SL in a better performance class than a 2000' C5 base vette. 700hp/750tq along with a few weight saving things should put a 700 hp SL600 down the track in mid 11's at 125 on sticky tires. Oh, and Soulseracher, I take it you finally realized that reaction time has nothing to do with your 1/4 time or speed. 

What the Panamera Turbo S boost comes onboard it's like nothing i've ever felt before in a 4 door sedan. The Panamera Turbo S is INSANELY FAST, it's the Concorde of Rodeo Dr!

notice both the doors open and the people stopped by the guard rail? they're just waiting for the police to come close off the road and clear away the car.
