Read my other thread on how i corrected myself and said a SL600 would tear the G a new yeahh...

 

Of course lol, C&D got that car to do 0-60 in 3.6 sec's and 1/4 mile under 12 sec's, it was a red SL600 and look it up for the non believers!

 

3.6second??? Wow, that's faster than Ferrari F50, M3, Diablo(not 100% sure) and 911 turbo. By then, it has nothing to do with a G35 coupe. We need to bring his dad, Skyline GTR.

 

Check it out, here's the article from C&D

"Mercedes-Benz SL600

Oh, Lord, won't you buy me one of these?

The lexicographers who update the work begun by Noah Webster in 1806 define torque as "the force that acts to produce rotation, as in an automotive vehicle."

Yeah, right. You can almost hear Lieutenant Commander Data. Dry. Rational. Devoid of emotion.

We suggest a more evocative description. Particularly when rotational force is served up in the quantities under scrutiny here. How about "Whoooooo-eeeee!" or "O-mi-gawd!"



Cut to the department of elapsed time. From a standing start, the Mercedes SL600 can hurl its 4501-pound bulk to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. Does that sound like a very brief interval? Clue: yes.

Allow us to illustrate.The Porsche 911 GT2 we tested in March 2002—456 horsepower, 457 pound-feet of torque—required 3.8 seconds to achieve mile-a-minute velocity. The Dodge Viper we tested in November '02—500 horsepower, 525 pound-feet—took 3.9 seconds. The 911 GT3 and Ferrari Challenge Stradale in our January issue each clocked in at 4.0 seconds.

Let's check the next notch on the elapsed-time yardstick. The 911 GT2 covered the quarter-mile in 12 seconds flat, the Viper in 12.1, the GT3 and Stradale in 12.3 and 12.4, respectively. The SL600 did it in 11.9. That's not quite as quick as the Ford GT, but it would have put this elegant Benz in a tie for fifth place (out of 15 cars) in the quarter-mile elapsed-time competition in our September 2002 "Supercar Challenge."

Yet another contrast: The SL600 trumps the SL55 AMG, even though the AMG edition weighs in a tad lighter (4411 pounds), packs the same horsepower (493), and is the designated SL family hot rod. But in our November '02 test, the SL55 managed only—only!—4.5 seconds to 60, and cruised through the quarter in 13.0 seconds at 110 mph.

So what's up with that? Torque, that's what. It's not that the SL55 is deficient in this power commodity. Its supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 produces 516 pound-feet across a broad plateau of grunt that ranges from 2750 to 4000 rpm. Our test characterized its thrust as prodigious, and we stand by that assertion. But if the SL55's torque is prodigious, the SL600's is—what? monumental? heroic? elephantine?

Fed by twin turbos with twin intercoolers, the SL600's SOHC 36-valve, 60-degree aluminum V-12 spools up 590 pound-feet of torque, maintaining that mountainous level from 1800 rpm to 3500 rpm. The five-speed automatic offers a three-mode manumatic function, just as it does in the SL55, but with such an abundance of muscle, augmented by quick throttle response, it seems superfluous. When the driver wishes to summon haste, he has only to tramp on the pedal and the V-12 will mash him against the seatback in a flash."

 

To even mention the G35 and SL500 in the same sentence is ridiculous, to hell with these silly threads.

 

like i said. I'm waiting for someone to make a thread "Ferrari Enzo vz. G35"

 

I already did JKJK
