Last night I had the pleasure of watching and listening to this start up and drive off, and then I had to follow because the engine note is absolutely glorious. Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny58d7AmY1o
(still is a grab from the video, please excuse the low quality)
Also parked a few cars along:
I had a look at an SLS at the Geneva motorshow in March as I wouldn't mind my next car to be something like this or a California etc, and the major thing for me was quite how hard it was to get the doors down, you have to hoist yourself up to reach the door before pulling it down. But now that I've heard the car running opinions have changed completely, it is quite frankly stunning. The camera didn't capture it as well as it really sounded but the rumble was awesome, a little test drive might be needed at some point
What do other people think of the SLS?

Do you ever get grief from the owners of the various cars you have stalked?
Looks great, but I thought filming inside the car was a bit much? fair 'nuff when its a dealer car but when its parked in the street?
(not meant as a dig, as I do like seeing the exotica, just feel there are lines to this)

I never replied to the above, and the answer is no, most people who have cars flashy enough to be tempted to follow actually enjoy the attention and some have even asked for more videos in the future! I've never once had a bad word yet.
Just to add to this thread though, this crazy matt purple SLS is driving around London at the moment.

Where the feck is that plate from?
It belongs to the Khalifa family (it's their crest on the plate), who are from Qatar; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalifa_bin_Hamad_Al_... (*I think!*)
