The SLR is honestly a better car. But probably two of the best sounding cars here. I don't know how the SLR V8 gives that resonance like you're hearing a dragster from a mile away. And the gurgling growl of the V12 is really a benchmark sound for me. I don't know any other 12 that sounds as nice. I can't decide which sounds better.
i dont think so the reason im leaning more to slr is beacuse the red on the dash and the mirror's plus the center control's on the dash look more silver like a slr
well when you look at the price and specs of both cars i really dont know why any one buys the slr it go's 7-8 mph faster and cost at least 2 times more and you loose the convertable hard top/
and lets say you get in a fender bender
in the sl you bend fenders in the slr you break them,
let me get this straight... you are claiming they are the same engine but they dont even have the same amount of cylinders... how the fuck did you come up with that. haahahaha
your definatlily not a son of a man cause, a real manual has to have a clutch pedal imo. and your probably retarded or missing a limb if you mind pushing or pulling a shifter.
Reading a lot of nonsense here...I'm no expert but here are my thoughts:SL is NO sportscar !Put a SLR vs a SL65 on a racetrack and the sl65 is nowhere to be seen,the SL65 is simply way too heavy at 2400 kg...Then,when they accelerate the SLR pulls away because it's 600 kg lighter than the SL.BUT at top speed, weight is not as important and raw power wins...And because the SLR has a way better downforce, it loses at topspeed.SL65 winner?Don't think so.Lucky for him there weren't any corners...
at first the sl is not heavier than 2050 kg and the slr is only 200 kg lighter and at the beginning the slr is faster because he as an supercharged v8 but at higher speed the biturbo v12 is better!!! Sorry for the bad english but I´am german
lol now the guy who bought the slr is disgusted because he saw that a cheaper mercedes do better than his fuckin expansive slr haha crual world for arabian prince
and btw why dont lots of ppl like ur friend remove the limiter from the SL , my bro removed his limiter from SL500 and it passes 260, i think around 265-270 kph it goes
woooooow shit the sl for sure removed his limiter as a person above said but it doesnt have to be tuned, since both are about same HP but SL is smaller and heavier while the slr is longer and lighter so thier about the same, btw ana kuwaiti o 7ilew il race malkom 3ad a7ib shay isma mercedes :) GL next time
Oh right. SL is not as powerful it IS more heavy, only thing it has more than SLR is torq (about 90nm) so what is happened. TUNING. You probaply saw SLR's Speedo? Biggest number in that speedmeter is 360 km/h and i think while the video it showed about 270 km/h and SL topseed is limited to 250 km/h. ATLEAST SL's topseed limiter was "knocked out" and i can promise u with 99%insurance that SL WAS TUNED!
hell yea it did...everyone keeps talkin bout the slr's top speed but little do they know that it struggles to get above 200..road and track tested this car in a 0-200 sprint and couldnt get it over 200mph in 2 miles(after getting it to 180 in the 1st mile,it only gained another 18mph in the 2nd mile)..with the governor off the sl65's torque is just too much top end wise for the slr
guys! do not under estimate the raw power of the sl65. yes the slr is quick and lighter and tops out at 208mph but the sl65's top speed without the limiter is roughly 211+ mph. if you combine torque with power you'll notice that the sl65 amg is more powerful than the slr and even though the sl65 is heavier 738 lb ft of torque is enough to push it way past 200mph
i wish i was wealthy enough to do things to spark ridiculous discussions such as these. I suppose if you get caught speeding in Abu Dhabi with cars like these you can just purchase the police too
bit silly really as the slr is mercs flag ship car if it was quicker the 65 amg would be flag ship, same as porsche cayman could beat 911 if they tuned it but they didn't as 911 is flag ship cayman is behind it. dicks why you always arguing about silly facts when the blatant facts mean more.
i know my facts and i don't every thing but i know most things so please stop making me look an idiot
because with the limiter on the sl65 can only do 155 mph so i know facts [its on wikipedia]by the way just because i get it wrong sometimes that doesn't mean you can swear at me!you called me fa***** [i'am not allowed to swear]
people have tried to make fun of the screenname i got but yours was the funniest.wutupmypig lol its nig not pig you bastard.dont take it up the ass.i was just f*!#ing with you
no your wrong!the sl65 in this video is ungoverned that means the 155 limit your talking about doesnt exist.ungoverned the sl65 does 214mph stock it was tested on the autobahn and that is the topspeed.if you think a V12 twin-turbo can only do 155 you dont know anything and i suggest you learn your facts
V12 Twin-turbo has higher topspeeds then a V8 supercharged.{SLR=207mph}..{SL65=214mph}both stock.the more cylinders the better your top speed.hp also increases your topspeed.the fastest car in the world is Bugatti Veyron 253mph it has 16 cylinders
Dude, the more cylinders you have does mean you go faster.
the ammount of power and tourque you have, also combined with aerodynamics and gearing determines your top speed. NOT how many cylinders you have. retard
do you think if a bugatti veyron had 12 cylinders instead of 16 it would go 407kmh.horse power,torque and gear ratios does increase your topspeed also but explain why a sl65 can do 215mph(new record) and a slr 207mph?all of the above stated makes topend speed higher not just one or the other so dont call me a retard.faggot
the slr is limited to 207 but it is impossible to know it because mb made it "stelth limited" anyways the slr vcan stop faster and has alot more downforce than the sl65 and the slr is really mid-engined
i agree with you the SLR is a much better race car and better car overall then the SL65 but the SL65 does have a higher topspeed.and personally if i had the choice of either car i would go with the sl65
exactly see superchargers work right away thats why the slr took off faster but wen the twin-turbo V12 kicks in compared to the V8 it wins in the long run
In this video the mercedes sl65 limits torque in all gears but the last.
I'm not sure of the exact numbers... But I think in 1-4 gears the torque is limited in the 500's. But in the last gear it unlimits it and unleashes all the torque. The reason for this is to save the transmission.
The SLR is a quicker car, but the twin turbos on teh Sl65 give it much better high end torue. Both cars were not governed, and if they were, then i beleive the SLR was and the SL was not!
