Default Mercedes SL 55's are faster than our cars
I got schooled this morning by an old man in an SL 55 AMG. Pretty humbling. Someone please tell me that's okay. He could pass me like I was stopped.

Plenty of other cars are faster than the B6 S4. It's okay.

Default Yeah, after having driven one, I can tell you it feels like you are driving a tank...
a tank powered by a supercharged V8!! Don't feel bad.

Default I'd bet most AMG cars are quicker than the B6 S4. Who cares? I assume you didn't buy your car
thinking it was the fastest car evAr...

The guy driving the SL55 didn't know that well known fact apparently ;-)

Default Good point. I'd like to think he seemed concerned that I could beat him, but probably not.
I have not craved a supercharger for this car until today.

It's good conversation too. I was trying out the "tough love" approach to tell you "it's okay"
