    Probably the prettiest SL55 I have ever seen! Looks fantastic in red, wonder why there weren't made more of them.

    Unfortunately the deal fell through even after the prospective buyer spent about $1000 total, for PPI and flew to Denver to check out the car (tickets, hotel, parking etc).

    He loves the car, the exterior, the interior, the power but he doesn't really like the tranny. He said it's not "crisp" enough, he's comparing the SL55 auto tranny to a single clutch like BMW smg or newer Aston single-clutch (which shouldn't be compared since SL55 has basically an automatic with torque converter). And he's buying the car for mountain driving.

    Here's his explanation on my for-sale thread on 6speedonline forum (I can give his contact info if you want an unbiased opinion from him on my car):
    FS: Nicely MODDED Red Mercedes SL55 AMG | RADBNZ - Page 2 - 6speedonline.com Forums

    The car is back on the market for $45K OBO.

    Have you contacted Hartmut at Renntech? I would be very surprised if the auto tranny computer couldn't be made to make the shifts "more crisp".

    Regards,

    Renntech/Kleemann has TCU tune but it will be only minimal difference.
