I swear... this car has an evil spirit. It's fast, aggressive, sexy, and when on the highway, tempts me to drive like a friggin' maniac. Does anyone else experience this?
:grin Unfortunately they changed the naming of hurricanes. My handle on here, Fritha78, is from my sailboat's name, Fritha, and she was finished in 78. She was a good boat, but I sold her a couple of years ago. As much trouble as we have with our cars they just have to be feminine.
My SL drives like its on rails! The trouble is that after driving the Benz for a while, I seem to think my other cars will perform in the same way...which leads to my passenger ending up in my lap after a hard right
Although powerful it is heavy and its not by any means a handful to drive. I have only gotten it sideways a handful of times and all those were with the traction control off. Once when I had to put my friend in his VW R32 in his place and once on a cold ass day with still cold summer tires and I got on the gas making a left turn and the rear just let go. It was fun holding the slide for a little bit before correctly and bringing the rear end back in line with the front end.
Stay out of kick down mode and the car is mild mannered. Otherwise, hold on.
