KLEEMANN does indeed make a kompressor system for the '03 SL 500. 508 HP, 472 lbs/ft of torque! That's more HP than the SL55 AMG, with half the boost, and a smaller engine! Can you say "superior engineering"?

CLS350
Ok no pics of the engine!!?? I think this guy needs a set of brembos and bigger rims with better tires to handle the KLEEMANN power.

Looks like an imposter to me- no SL's built matching that car to the best of my knowledge.

Doesnt the lack of underhood shots tip you off????

SL55 AMG
Why bother? Same old issues: maintenance, warranty, insurance, resale, depreciation, every one of which says to me: No Thanks.

Hardly any space for wheel travel, go over any bump in the road and the wheels will tear the bodywork apart. Oh, I forget. Cars this ugly are not actually meant to be driven.....
