Can't wait to see the wheels. I've been really good... the LSD rear end break-in has kept me pretty easy.
Slipped up to 90 only a couple of times...
85 being top speed for break-in.
The car is so fast leaning on the throttle... I can't wait to start jumping it. I can tell the car is very very fast.
Ah... the wheels
Manufacturer did not drill the extra hole needed for the TPMS systems in all the 07 MB's now.
Had the rims 2 weeks before the car got here... and then...
Anyway, the Manufacturer was very helpful, but... they had to be shipped back. Not going to have for about 10+ more days. Just a bit bummed on that one. Was completely dialed in to have them on the car when I picked it up.
The car is awesome. I was a bit worried I was going to miss my cls55..
Hasn't happened. Not going to.

SL65 vs SL55?
SL55 + 14k$ is still significantly cheaper (comparing new vs new)
