agent Z07. thanks for the work on the side by side there.

i think the new SL65 black (65B) may be a new contender depending upon its handling capabilities. it may be porky, but it has the power and torque. the GTR is porky too, but is aided by its AWD and DSG. we'll see.....

Wicked fast! Only 178mph?!? I would have thought faster through that section due to the time... maybe the handling... There were some rough jolts here and there...

I thought that video cameras were not allowed on the Nurburgring?!??! WTF?!?!? At least it isn't pointed at the A-pillar... schmoocher...

Off topic...slightly...
Also what is the name of the corner/hairpin at 4:17??? I remember seeing very old footage of the Merc Silver Arrows going through that corner...

Fierce head-wind on that straight apparently.
