Kenny,
Sure what the Hell!
I would get an SL 65, it is probably the only thing I would get to replace my 55, unless Ferrari builds a 575 hardtop convertible that can fit 2 sets of golf clubs.
Then we would really have something |

Hey William,
I Love the 55, I don't know if there is anything about the car that is anything short of incredible. The torque is fantastic and I am having a blast eating 911's, Vette's and alike that are really not sure what hit them.
Ming, I have every option available on the car but I am not sure of the suspension you are talking about . I assume it does, it does ride great and will run with anything. |

ming, i too am a fan of the sl55, but i very much doubt that you saw one in the same trim as the f1 pace car. i was interested in that and checked on it through a friend of mine in the company. turns out they only made about 7 of those (although i am sure if you paid enough they would make another one for you). you can recognize them by the little 4''x6'' exhaust mesh incorporated on either side of the front spoiler. they are rumored to put out about 50hp more than the regular engine. |

Hi William,
I think the new Sl especially the Sl55 AMG is real cool. I was following the guy on yesterday morning drive and the torque is unlimited and the exhaust sound is awesome. the SL55 I saw was fitted with TV and full leather with 1st class finishing.(exactly the same configuration of the F1 rescue car)
Vernon, is your Sl55 fitted with the Merc newly developed suspension system?

Hey William,
If I can help with any Mercedes questions give me a shout, I have owned three new 2003 SL's two sport 500 and 1 SL 55. I have some real pull with a dealer who often calls me about hard to get cars they have a line on |
