Does anyone know the performance & Power of a new SL500?

I came up behind one the other day in my STI8 and he booted it (I think) so I felt it would be rude not to play.

I was expecting him to do a horizon job once the road opened out onto a long straight, but I matched him till the next roundabout, when he turned off. (I was leaving gear change to over 5500 from 3rd onwards but I wasn't really thrashing the car).

I know they are more powerfull, but is that soaked up in the additional weight? or was he just doing enough to keep me behind?
