Also, the was racing with traction control on so it was basically go up to the line, wait for the green and drop the hammer and hold on.
They tried a few runs without traction control, and his comment was: "Trying to launch the SL65 with the traction control off is like trying to drive a unicycle up a ski slope"

Some damn nice cars there :thumbsup
I really like the C6 Z06 but I would take the SL65 over all those cars though, even if the corvette is faster. I dont mind giving up a bit of speed for some comfort/luxury and a hardtop convertible. Plus the SL65 is still faster than 99% of the cars on the road... but the C6 Z06 is a close 2nd, that thing in mean!
