New SL600

Thanks for the suggestions, etc.. I just picked up my new SL600. I waiting for some Renntech parts to finish it off.

From what I've heard - and what I want - it should be perfect. I'm adding the following:

- Renntech 20" Monolites
- Michelin PS2s (295/25/20R - 255/30/20F)
- Eisenmann Exhaust
- Renntech ECU upgrade
- Renntech Carbon Airbox + engine cover
- 15"F x 13"R Brake upgrade
- 10-piece chrome gills
- Rear Spoiler

I'll post "After" pics when available (about three weeks). For now, the base:

Wrong forum.


Just kidding. Pics are a bit dark, but from it looks hot. Actually, all new SL600s are hot. Might you be selling those AMG wheels after you get the monolites on?

And congrats on the purchase man.

Me thinks we're working with the same folks!! (There is much to be found in the airpark.)

Hopefully, they get all my gear in within 3 weeks (the chrome wheels seem to be the biggest delay).

How did you get those numbers??!! I'm looking for 640/775!

Thanks.

I have no need for the wheels/tires when I'm done.

The wheels are AMG 18"; the tires are PSs - 285/35/ZR18 R x 255/40/ZR18 F

PM me if you want 'em.

I got the 100 octane flash and Eisenmann exhaust.

You gotta go to Firebird with us some time and put that thing on the track when Rich finishes with it.
