Very Happy with 2005 SL600 POWER!!!!
I have worked my way up the Mercedes line up, starting years ago with an E320, then a 96 SL320, then a 01 S500 and finally an 05 SL600. Obviously with each progression the car has been more thrilling to drive. When I still occasionally drive the SL320, it is amazing what a dog it is, the S500 has impressive power considering the size of the vehicle, but the SL600 is an absolute thrill to drive.
The past weekend on a stretch of road outside of town that is flat, deserted and you can see for miles, I got on it and was left with a grin on my face. Everyone talks about the 0 to 60 which the car rockets you thru, but the 60 to 120 is equally impressive. It's nice to finally have a car and know whenever you need the power it's there to be unleashed.
After owning this car for about 1 month, I have no regrets at all, a great ride.

Renn Tech
When you mention putting some Renn Tech into it. What exactly do people have done with Renn Tech on these cars. I am trying to figure out what I maybe would do to my 2005 SL600 and what benefits I could expect to receive from the modifications. Thanks.
