[kurtnesass]

[560merc]

[ADI126SEC1]

HEY nice car what kind of tune up you done to the engine and what kind exhaust you have because this car is so fast and I dont know why is like that my CL600 V12 1998 is way slower than your SL would you share your knoledge with me thanks

[hadabenz]

geeez.. you tackled all those highway corners as if they're circuit chicanes or something . this is how an sl600 should be driven.. by the way what state was that? and what time was the video taken?.. highway looks empty to me..

cheers

[dave0331]

Santa Cruz, CA area. You can tell from the highway sign at 7:39 (Mt. Hermon Rd/Granite Creek Rd on 17)

[Jr55amg]

M120 king of V12s

[vbdenny]

Very sweet sounding engine. I surprized Mercedes doesn't get you on a copyright violation for using their sound!

[ron28nie]

wow......thats sick

[cdelviscio]

my buddy and his dad test drove one of these....they were goin 80 on the on ramp..punched it and lost traction... this car is amazing!!!

[wildhunter666]

try to buy better camra, we see deinterlancing lines here

[Sunnytk]

i thought the v12 would of sound better then that :( still its a very beautifull car

[eaegnet]

it was converted to stock mercedes exhaust when brought over, it looks like it used to have some sort of nice quad pipe system at one time

[Stevieb83]

nice car freind have u had any troubles with it if u dont mind me asking?

[spectre0618]

Supras are amazing cars, the engine is fucking bulletproof, the skyline has one of the toughest engines in history and the benz 5 and 600's are fuckin' gorgeous as well. Stop the fucking insults. A veyron would eat any of the aforementioned cars for breakfast anyway.

[CMstyler]

Please shut up, like you know everything. Wiseguy.. The SSC Ultimate will eat the veyron for lunch. I don't know if you have heard it, but the veyron isn't the fastest production car any more.. SO YOU MAY SUCK MY DICK!

[camaro243]

how did u make it sound so sick??

[sylvainh2o]

i dot even know if he did any modif on it men yo uhave to think its a v12 in those a v8 make already an awesome noise so a icant imagine a v12 i mean thats what they have in the lambo and stuff of course in the lambo is a lto faster but still yo uget the point :P

[awesomeman09]

no i have the same car but it dosent sound like that...

[camaro243]

to bad igot a 10000000000000000000000000000h­p supra!!!(joke)

[600SELV12]

Alot of armchair PUSSIES here, get off the playstation & go to bed.

Nice vid eaegnet, I got mine & a 64.

[camaro243]

wuts the 0-60 time? my dads got a 2000 sl600..

[eaegnet]

probably around 5.1

[jamesthq]

agh i hate your vid. Im gonna go outside wand realise I only have a 1.3litre VW Lupo and not a Mercedes V12 I drive sensibly but theres nothing more fun then doing the whole racing line thing early in the morning. Oh well Im 21 I'm sure I'll have a car like that someday

[BlueLightning1]

Surprisingly these cars are now within reach of mere mortals such as ourselves. Just be prepared for the cost of maintaining the V-12 beast under the hood - it's not exactly well known for its reliability. Still, it sounds awesome though.

[jamesthq]

yeah but in the UK our insurance is a bitch. I mean wanna get a V12 FORGET IT. I have £8,000 to buy a car but anything over a 2litre and your looking at £2,000 a year just to insure the bloody thing.

[BlueLightning1]

Well, if you wait until you're 25 (26?) and avoid having accidents then the insurance cost should go down. Plus the cost of an SL600 will have dropped even further by then too :)

[jamesthq]

yeah well i grew up with the fast and the furious (great movie) so I really wanna go for the japanese import look so yeah wait till Im 26 then I'd be in a better job to afford a car like a Nissan 320x or a sklyline.

[BlueLightning1]

BTW you're not kidding about insurance. I now live in the UK, and nice cars are cheap, until you check out the cost of insuring the damn thing :/

[deltoyero]

Envious people... i have got a S600 V12 W140 and i had an SL 500 R129... simply the best.

Supras and etc. are coca-cola painted cans... mercedes V8 and V12 are CARS.

[dlee4she]

all benzs are good. fuck u loser and ur supras. all that hp in that light car. ya tires will be spinnig for days.

[4fuxake]

155mph would be a lot of fun but take it to a racetrack and see how it really goes.

Top speed is exciting but trying to brake from top speed down to slow enough to take a hairpin is even better.

[eaegnet]

No need to take it to a track, its been replaced with an F355 Ferrari :-)

[sylvainh2o]

with a v12 engine trust me theres a lot you can do with that :P

[kuksul08]

dude my 1000hp supra owns your POS ferrari overpriced crap

[TheSkylineShopVancou]

Too bad you dont have a 1000 HP Supra

[ilovenfscarbon]

haha try the z06 i got 224 mph COOOOOOL EH?

[romka4567]

Ill beat it with my Cizeta-Moroder V16T that shit will RIP ANYTHING

[BiffBallbag]

I must admit, the car sounds spectacular.

[Vitalii]

SLKs are for chicks.

[tiureple]

slk is a ugly car,but the r129 sl is the best mercedes ever

[mikesc90]

I should take a vid of my 98 SL600. You'd love it. :)

[my1stbenz]

Fantastic video! Nothing sounds as powerful and sultry as a mercedes v12 under heavy throttle! Keep them coming. Mercedes Uber Alles!!!

[krupple]

I chose my slk over the sl, but I wouldn't have been able to get the sl600. I didn't realise how fast they were at the time anyway. 0-60 around 5 I believe.

[eaegnet]

Yeah, its 5.1 0 to 60, It suppose to be 155 electronically limited, but a few nights ago I got it over 160, probably 162, and it was still pulling, off the chart, but I had to slow down, ran out of road :)

SLK's are nice, I like the SLK55 AMG, but SL's will always be my favorite.

[BiffBallbag]

all that means is your speedometer is inaccurate, you cant really judge your speed with it.
