2006 SL65 ///AMG - GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN: 2005 E55; 2002 ML55; 2001 CLK55; 1992 BMW 850i; 1991 M5
Question SL 600 Technical Info. Search

Hello SL members. I am the proud owner of an 01 CLK55 and I am in the market for an R129 style SL 600. Is there anywhere on the web I can go to find technical specs. for the various model years? Specifically, I would like to know if MB changed the transmission and rear diff. ratios along the way. I know the V12 engine remained primarily unchanged throughout most of the production years (389 hp).

Finally, I saw an SL 600 ///AMG for sale on eBay a while back that actually had AMG badges on the decklid, etc. I know MB offered a "cosmetic" AMG package for the R129 SL 600, but did this package include engine and suspension upgrades as well?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

All of the above
There was no AMG version of the SL600. The car you saw has some AMG badges, no suspension or engine upgrades from AMG.
