Hmm - checked Webster's and "prodigious" = 1) exciting wonder; 2) extraordinary in size or degree.

Excellent word usage. Very high-brow for the Forum.

You can't compare the Euro version to the U.S. version...

...based on what happened today I would say the SL55 AMG is close to the 911TT but would certainly get oWNED by the Murcielago.

I've never seen the Euro Version of the SL so I cannot say.

yeah screw fancy testing equipment

car mags can just bring you in to eye their test runs. at least in that case, you'll actually know how hard the drivers are pushing it. and based on those numbers, unless the u.s. version is packing 100 less hp and square wheels, i doubt a 911tt would be a problem.
