Thumbs up I hope it isn't NA either!!!

Wow the sound coming out of those AMG pipes was bad a** for sure!! I hope they drop the twin-turbo's on it.


And link to spy video of the SLC coming in 2010, makes me worry that Edmunds really believes it will be a 600+ horsepower Naturally-aspirated 63 V-8. I hope it is twin-turbo.

Well if it's gonna be NA, hope it'll have atleast 600 HP

Ok well if it's gonna be naturally aspirated and not twin turbo, then hopefully it will have atleast 600 or more horsepower and be much lighter and better handling than a SL55 with the performance package.

So I guess they are aiming this car at people who are looking at buying a Porsche GT3 RS or F430 Scuderia but want alot more comfort and practicality with pretty much the same performance.

People who are looking at GT3 RSs are looking at them because they have them. The few that are left are priced at 50k over MSRP. If the SL wants to be a player with the Porsches and Fcars then it needs to go on a serious diet. I don't see that happening. Road feel is just not what the AMG buyers are looking for.
