SLS roadholding a disappointment? (video)
This EVO track vid does not inspire confidence for spirited driving:

I am just about to order an SLS and I can tell you that this video makes me want it more for the following reasons;
1) The SLS is Not a Track Car.
2) The SLS is a Purebread GT! Made for superior road driving!
3) If you want a Track Car - Get a GT3.
4) The tail happy nature of the beast is why I absolutely love driving my C63 on the road. The C63 is a Crap Track car! Worse than the SLS and I love the C63 to Death.

I own a SLS and it handles much better than that video on the track.
1) No it is not a dedicated track car but as one you can drive on a daily basis, it holds its own very well for any street car. If your idea of a track car is a GT3 Cup Car then you might be a bit dissapointed in it's lap times.
2) Yes it is a GT but I have been very impressed with how much sports car DNA it has.
3) Sure or a few othesr :-)
4) When compared to a C63 or a CLK Black Series the SLS is not tail happy at all. The SLS is actually the most balanced AMG I have ever owned. The rear has an amazing amount of grip. Yes, you can throw it around if you want but it is very well planted and behaves quite well.
I think you will be pleased with your purchase.
Cheers!
