Black CLS55

I was talking with one of my salesperson today in Houston about getting a SLK55 and she informed me if anyone was in the marked for a black CLS55. Anybody interested let me know and give you the contact info.

I was trying to decide on a Boxster S or Slk55 but after finally getting to drive the slk I made up my mind for the amg. It sounds so nice, much beefier than my cls in my opinion.

Also, my wheel guy called me today and let me know my rims are in. I'm stopping by there after work tomorrow. It should look hot! 20 inchers with a 5 inch lip in the the rear wheels. I'll post pics asap.

Take care!
Scott

You are going to enjoy your SLK55. It is a blast to drive. I had a chance to drive the CLS55 in the AMG Challenge in Vegas on the race track going over 100+ mph and it is a great performance vehicle in both power and handling. Yes, handling! This supsension is much tighter and has less body roll than the E55. The steering is much more responsive than the E55. I thnik the E55 may have just been de-throaned for the best 4 door high performance sedan.

The Porsche Boxster is in a different class.....a lower class. It handles ok but not enough power IMHO. Id rather get an M3.

I do not know what options the black cls55 in sugarland has as they did not have the car info posted. I was there late around 6:45 waiting to meet a friend and he told me they are asking 6-10 K over sticker. My friend told me they purchased it for 6K over sticker so I'm pretty sure its going for 10K over. He provides most of the aftermarket rims they have on there cars. From the looks of the car it seems pretty standard with limited options. Just from the glance of it, I know they do not have keyless go. Check it out.

Its from Progressive Motorsports here in Houston of Veterans and 1960 west. I was going to put on HRE's but after talking to him I went with a custom line of wheels that he recently introduced. It is a better quality grade, easier to repair if damaged, etc.

I had them installed today right after work and they look awesome! I really did not get a chance to fully enjoy them since it got dark so I cant wait to see it tomorrow. I will also take pics and post them asap. To me it makes my black/black CLS55 look like a bad azz stealth fighter now.

BTW, when I got to the wheel shop today they just finished putting 20 inch rims on a CL65 and did a brabus lowering kit. I wish I had my camera it looked so hot. This place does a lot of wheels and work on highline mercedes so if you are in the market you should check them out.

Regards!
Scott
