I also have to note that my WS6 in stock form, with 345hp is only 1 second slower in the quarter than the SL65 AMG which packs nearly double the power. That's the problem. With a proper rear setup and a launchable driveline, the SL65 would run tens all day. But with a car like that, that's not even possible. So why all the power? Especially with gas prices the way they are.
big power doesn't mean it needs run to the drag strip and do 1/4 miles. ever heard of the Autobahn?
