I was hauling as through traffic and having fun messing around when I spotted a potential race. A black SL600 was sitting at the light, sitting about 2 inches higher than stock :wtf: with a cheesy non-MB V12 badge on the trunk and SLK55 exhaust tips. I know a stock SL600 would still take me off the line in a perfect race, but I figured I'd surprise the guy when I got the chance.
Light turned green and he ran WOT to the next light, about 1/5 of a mile away and got into the left turn lane. What the hell, it sounds like a 6 banger :dunno: I get in behind him and wait. Light turns green and he stomps it going into the turn, brakes, and hits WOT again. I was right behind him, ESP off, holding 1st and jammed the gas too. I saw him peer into his sideview mirror when I chirped it and I continued to walk within inches of his rear bumper in a few seconds. He let off and started to cruise.
He moved over to give me room and I stayed behind him, holding 2nd and nailed it again just to make noise. He was now staring at me in his rearview, but made no motion to move. Holding 2nd I pulled up, eased off, nailed it again and bounced it off the rev limiter a few counts as I was passing him. Still, no play. I gave up and went on my way.
So as it sounds like, I just came across a 300SL rebadged as an SL600 (it had the old style taillights as well). I need to start keeping the camera in the center console :wall:
