Out of summer hibernation
It’s finally cooled down to attend weekend car meets. I have been going to this particular evening meet every Saturday evening in Scottsdale AZ (in the winter) and so far my SL55 P30 has the been the only one in attendance. There have been a few R230 SL’s once in awhile. Enjoying the rarity and educating the mostly Super Car and American classic attendees about the virtues of an 18 year old concours condition underrated super car!

I have always had a distaste for anything plastic covering engines.
With all the Renntech mods, software upgrades and custom Corsa exhaust I get consistent 0 - 60 in 3.6 seconds from my GPS device. The OEM limited slip that comes standard with P30 cars definitely helps. I think that is a one second improvement over stock. But it’s not about numbers for my mods. It’s assuring she is able to keep with newer cars and keeping her reliable.

[QUOTE=Hendrik Koster;8675076]I'm admiring the well kept details on your car. I noticed you have the magnetic ABC filter installed as well. Mine is the only SL55 P30 in Agean Blue in the country getting lots of compliments where ever I drive and people are in disbelieve when I tell them it's an 07.
Enjoy and happy motoring!

There is a black '03 SL55 AMG for sale on Craigslist in the Seattle area, asking about $13,000. I have the same car and have about $22K into it but my suspension has just been fitted with all new accumulators, plus new engine mounts, trans mount, every air filter on the car is new, plus all new fluids, etc., even the spark plugs and wires are all new. I replaced those ignition parts myself and was told I should ask a dealer what their cost was for the job. I was surprised when they quoted $3,940.00! Made me very happy that I can do that job myself. Anyhow with 102K miles, this one looks pretty good for the price.

As far as the educating....you know how these old timers and their C4's, Camaro's, Chargers etc....they don't believe Mercedes cars can run with them in more luxurious comfort and supreme safety!

Hit me up sometime. Just moved here so have zero car friends. Unfortunately I got priced out of Chandler/Phoenix and bought a home in Maricopa (Cow poop town) I have a Star Diagnostic system and full complement of professional mechanic tools. I also have professional paint correction equipment. Let me know if you need any help. Hope to "attract" more Mercedes friends with this!

Agree with you on the education.
That is a beautiful picture!

HI m5zealot,
what a gorgeous vehicle. Looks amazing. I have a 2006 model. One quick question. Please let me know what model Corsa muffler and exhaust you have. Is this the Corsa Extreme for a Mustang or Charger that was retrofitted to the SL55? If so, please let me know what years work best.
Thank you

Thank you. So you used the Corsa Extreme for a Mustang or Challenger?
You have a very nice ride. Very tasteful and classic. I am going to hold on to mine. Here are some pics, or the link to my pics.
