SL 55 with a 6 speed manual???
Guys, Do you ever see AMG coming out with a 6 speed manual for the new SL 55? I think a 6 speed would go good with that kind of power. Theres nothing like the feel of a manual right???

There has to be a clutch that can handle that kind of power look at Renntechs 6 speed manual in the CLK GTX. Look at the bottom of the CLK GTX page and look at what there 620hp engines hooked up to.

1M, F550M, F550B, F40, S600, 365GTC, DBSx2, etc.
I actually looked into doing the renntech conversion from the clk-gtx, but the problem is this car is SO damn unwieldy that even if you *could* exercise your left foot, you still wouldn't have the dynamics of a "driver's" car.
So then I figured why waste the 30k or whatever?
