    I already own a SLS but I'm curious to know the exact option list. "Loaded" is such a "loaded" term. I can see 10 spoke forged wheels and CF mirror caps but that's it.

    It's amazing how these are climbing in value. I have a 2011 with a bit over 4000 miles. Can you please post the options list. Thank you.

    Congrats on your excellent taste! To me, the climb is not all that surprising. Retro/homage to a blue-chip classic + a brutal N.A. V8 + Gullwing doors. It's doubtful you'll see this combination ever again as turbos are taking over and Gullwing doors are tough to execute (ask Elon how much engineering and $ was sunk into those Falcon doors on the Model X).

    Have great interest in adding the SLS AMG to our collection. Have driven an early production car and it felt like the transmission was having issues and was comparing it to my 355 F-1 car. Now it is known the 2012 and newer have had some fixes to the transmission. Wondering what your impressions are of the car since you have some experience with it now.

    Thanks for your help and thoughts.

    Best,

    DJ

    I bought mine from the dealer 2/3 years ago with 1500 miles for $150. It was all the $. I've now got 4,000 miles. What a car

    All SLS are able to get the SW update to TCU which make them shift as slick as a 458 (exact same gearbox). Any MB dealer can apply the update to early SLS.

    I opted to pay Weistec for their TCU and ECU tune which gave me same HP bump as the GT and shifting as fast and brutal as Black Series. Bam.

    Lol- I have a model X as a daily driver. Love the car.

    Sorry- don't want to derail thread. Was hoping for a options list on the car for sale.
