New ride, SL55 030
Forgot to post there here, my home section for the past 2 years! Picked up it yesterday, '06 SL55 030 black on red, all options minus pano and distronic. I'm sooooo happy, drove from SD up to Santa Monica and back home yesterday
Only 2 crappy pictures so far, have a lot to do to her mod wise... wheels, drop and red calipers being top priority
I need to research the IC pump issues some more, had the SC shut down on me a few times yesterday after some hard runs. ****ing lame. It was running strong when it cooled down lastnight.
This thing is a world of difference from the 500, handling, braking, power, just eons beyond my old SL. The more I drive it, the more I love it.

Nice Ride Murtaza! I love the raw grunt of the 55 SC engines. Congrats! Post more picts soon!
Plus I'm anxious to see your brake caliper mod.
Again... congrats!
