Is it real, or Memorex?

It's been a long time since I took Physics, but
I'm betting that's fake all the way. Cool, though.

They didnt have to go and do all that CGI crap, all they have to do is show that car with nothing around it for 2 1/2 minutes and thats enough for me, that car looks waaaayyyyy cool!

Nothing beats the original gullwing for styling, but this is a very nice looking car IMO. With those dramatic doors, I predict it'll be the star attraction in many a future rap video. Still, I'd rather have the original - alloy body version preferably.

Here's a more realistic look at the SLS from Jay Leno's Garage.
He likes it.

According to Autoweek - AMG also has partnered with Cigarette Race Boats to produce a 46 foot, deep Vee ocean racer type boat with TWO 552 cubic inch, dual turbo V8s. Two outdrives. Total horsepower is 1,350. Claimed top speed is 130 MPH - ON WATER! Folks let me tell you that anything over 60 MPH on water can get very exciting, very fast. Water becomes like concrete at that speed. A small wave can launch you nearly airborne. Now imagine double that speed.

Sound like your perfect south Florida drug boat to me. Where's Don Johnson?

David, you are EXACTLY correct. 60 is flying, 75 feels like light speed!!!
