I didn't find too many cars on track that I couldn't pass. Most of the other drivers were quite amazed of two things:

That I was actually running the car hard
How quick it was on the back straight

I spoke to a few automotive journalists when this thing first came out - they'd just come back from the press event where they had beat on a few of these and had the same impression as those around you: you wouldn't expect a car from Benz that's thing big to be so at home on a track.

I'm just glad to see that some SLS owners actually take it out to stretch its legs properly!
