> I know, I know - I wouldn’t have believed it either, except that I was there driving it As promised, I got my new SL65 broken in by early this week, took it in for the 1000 mile service, and then headed up to Sacto this evening for some 1/4 runs. The car is _bone_ stock, down to the stock Bridgestone RE050 rear tires on 19" rims.
>
> My first run of the evening was just after arriving and without cooling down from the 125 mile drive up to Sacto. The SL mustered an 11.7 @ 123 with modest intervention from the traction control in 1st gear. As the evening wore on and temps dropped, traction in 1st went away but power went up – WAY up. My fastest run of the evening netted an 11.8 @ 126 with the traction control still kicking in during 1st. Other runs were fairly consistent 11.8 @ 125, with everything depending on how much I angered the traction gods.
>
> All in all, I’m _very_ impressed with this car. I’m revising my previous estimates - I think with drag radials it’ll run 11.4 @ 127. I’ll be back to the 'strip in 2 weeks to test that theory
