SL65 on the way
Finally pulled the trigger on a Silver 06 with 4k miles for $120k. Car even has the benz 5 year 100k extended wrty so I think I got a good deal. Car will be inspected over the weekend. After comparing all the features of the TT V12 SL with any other options close to or slightly above the 120k range it was no contest. It's just frightening the hit these 65 cars have taken in such a short period of time. I plan on taking it directly to my tech for the Kleemann ECU and tune.
Anyone have any + or - of going with the Kleemann vs Renntech? From my past experience I have found Renntech to be more $ and nothing else. Any other tips much appreciated.

SL65 AMG
Get that car dynoed then chipped! My car came in like 550-555whp but couldnt get the lbft reading and thats bone stock on 91 octane. I have talked to Cory since he did my last benz and he is a great guy with lots of knowledge and I have been talking to adam since I got the elm from him. Good luck with whatever company you go with and post results ASAP!!! Enjoy the car and if your coming from a 55 it takes some time to adjust, my wife was 100% sure my kleemann tuned 55 was felt and sounded way faster then my 65 until I took her to the 1/4 and my stock 65 beat my 55 trap by 10+mph and almost a full second and that was before I really got to know the car like 3-5 days of ownership if I recall. Post pics and enjoy CONGRATS!!!

Whatever I feel like
Speed Thrills: Congrats on the new purchase. You will love the car. You got the best deal I have seen on an SL65. My Renntech SL65 is BLAZING fast. I have never used Kleeman, but I highly recommend Renntech.
BiTurboAmg: Your stock dyno numbers are better than most Renntech SL65 numbers. What were your uncorrected numbers?
