Just picked an 06' SL65
I picked up a black/black 06' SL65 with 6,000 miles. The car is very fast and fun to drive. I will post pics when I'm done with all of the mods in about two weeks. I already ordered Renntech 20" Monolites, Renntech ECU/TCU, Renntech carbon airbox, toe links, Renntech ELM and Renntech exhaust. There is so much TQ in the car. It's tough to hook up from a stand still, but I guess I can manage.
