I live in Johnson City Tennessee and while out with my parents today, I saw a SL55 Compressor. We then saw it at Wal-Mart and talked to the owner for a minute. I didn't get his name though. I was wondering if anyone knows who he is or if there is a website or car registry where I can find him. I would like to talk to him more about his great car.

 

I don't know of him, but there are several here in the Atlanta area. Many AMGs will be getting together tomorrow for a drag race. I'll post some pics over at http://www.mercedesshop.com/shopforu...threadid=76298after the event.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>My first merc was purchased this year....an SL55. I am thoroughly enjoying the car on the road as well as the track. Even at 4000 pounds it is truly awsome. If anyone knows who can derestrict the speed limiter I would greatly appreciate it.</FONT></P>

HI

FATHER HAS JUST BOUGHT ME A SL 55 FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND IT IS ONE OF THE BEST CARS THAT I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. HAVE ANY OF YOU GUYS EVERY DROVE OR OWN ONE????<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">

 

I know Carlsson can remove the top speed restriction.

 

yeah i no you have to chip it first and then take the chip back off and that removes the limiter.

 

Why would anyone attempt to go over 133 MPH? And chipping an AMG will void the warranty. The computer stores that kind of data.

 

Because some people drive their cars on the track and they get pissed off once they see their speedo stop movingat 155mph. </P>

 

Cool!. Is track testing expensive? I have a track a couple of hours away from my house, and I always wanted to push the cars to the limit w/o getting a reckless driving ticket.

 

Depends, like Infineon Raceway (Sears Point) drag raceusually cost around $50. On some Wednesday, high school students can race with police in their patrol cars.</P>


But if doing a full test for the car, then it'llcostmore, call up your local race track and </P>
