SLS low rpm acceleration

still breaking the car in. mainly up to 4k-4.5k rpm. only twice went up to 5.5k.

for normal daily driving one need not exceed 4k rpm. it's got so much grunt down there..amazing.

and what a sound it makes:

this car really has one of the best sounds i ever heard. and the sounds it makes when down-shifting several gears is magnificient.

all details in my upcoming driving report once i had a chance to step on it...

Re: SLS low rpm acceleration

Intouch - congrats to the car, I somehow missed this post.

So - tell us, how is the impression after having it for a while?

Re: SLS low rpm acceleration

Sounds really good!

My wife also likes this car and the sound (we have seen a few here in Luxembourg) and we share your pain that you cannot yet take it to the redline. Every time the sound is getting better, you are understandibily shifting... Looking forward to first redline movie
