Does it seem to be up to snuff or what????

No, something isn't right. Is the pedal on the floor?

I thought that was a test to see how slowly you could accelerate

Next time do something in the video.

Keep the wheel nice and straight and do a pull to 60 or so.

When I do Italian tune ups I usualy pull to the stops in three gears, so about 83mph. I'd keep going but my "test track" is only so long.

I tried doing the same thing with a CLK550 last summer but my better judgement got me to lift just over 100, damn that thing was fast. If I kept going for the whole "test track" like on the SDL I would have been close to the limiter.

That looks more like a 125sdl, give or take, if that was full throttle...
