How many more miles to go?

Better get out there and pile them on ... only good times!

What is 0-60 mph in your SL 550? Is it normally aspirated?

In the R230 ... was 4.5 seconds - must feel like riding a rocket. My E550 does 4.8 seconds & it is quite the sensation when everything hooks up.www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15136238/mercedes-benz-sl55-amg-road-test/

Yes those supercharged M113 engines are a work of art.

1996 Sl500 - Black on Black on Black
My 1996 SL500 has 172,000 miles on it. I have owned it for 12 years and had bought it with 105k on the clock. Not many problems but I just had to change the crumbling engine wire harness. It had to be the last offof the biodegradable ones. I had to buy it about from a salvage yard in Germany for about $900 US dollars after tax and shipping! Ouch! I installed it myself.

My 1996 SL500 is a "hibernator" with 175,000 km.
A lease return bought in Vancouver in 2015.
A "few" issues I fixed myself since. front bumper, loose mirror,
all fluids, hood pad, power steering seals, cam oilers and rails right side.
Conductor plate and leaking plug, new MB radiator.
Some thing of interest, the AC rubber hose left side was touching the Block,
got cooked and sprayed refrigerant all over.
But I do anything for LOVE.

Been a CLK w208 guy since i got my lisence 6 years ago but the SL r129 have always been on my dreamlist.
kindof downgraded as i owned a 2001 CLK 55 which i sold to be able to afford this low-mileage one, but i love it!

Wondering how many mm you have lowered your sl
amd if you have any spaces if so how many mm

admire your car because looks perfect
