AMG SL55 Convertible Burnout
This was sent in by Matthew, who bet his boss that he wouldn't do a burnout in his awesome new AMG SL55.

See I had a bet with my boss that he wouldn't smoke the tires in his Mercedes Benz SL55, and since he did it I lost the bet and now have to pay up. Which is to put this video on your website, rember when viewing this he wasn't even trying. The limits of this car is mind blowing.
Best Regards
Matthew

In case you don't know what an AMG SL55 is, it's an AMG-enhanced Mercedes Benz SL500, and has a 5.5-litre supercharged V8 with 493hp. The SL500 has 302hp from its 5-litre 24-valve V8, as a comparison.

Anyway, this bloke is a champion in my books, he did two huge burnouts in his spanking new $US120k car! Top work, and top work to Matthew, who sent this in.

Now that was a burnout! The donuts were awesome. Hopw the insurance company never sees that video.

I'm thinking that this guy could handle an "increase" in his insurance payments considering the car is $120K to begin with. Man o man, that must be nice!

holy ass, that's awesome
