I've never even seen an SLS AMG in the flesh, much less been able to test the M5 with one. Back in my street drag racing days there was an etiquette to even the informal, non money runs that would come up. Eye contact, a hand signal, or even some words with the window down to agree to an impromptu run. If we have too much ego on the line to risk losing, that takes the fun out of it. If I lose to an SLS or a ratty looking Corvette, so be it. It's still fun to have an even start to see which car has the best performance. Maybe Mr. SLS didn't want to chance that.
