I wish they would've mentioned how fast the 5 speed transmission in the SL55 shifts?

It's interesting to see the MBZ/AMG PR machine (and it's tools) engage the emergency after-burners as the "suits" at corporate finally begin to worry about "actual" public response to the SL '09 styling blunder

MB Forever,

This video is a good demonstration of the speed of the new MCT versus 55K/63 cars.

That's a pretty quick shift, AMG is moving in the right direction.

i am just ok with the new front end looks and it will grow on me. would i buy one, no. just keep my old 03 sl55 with upgrades. wish the front apron fit the old sl55.
every mercedes amg product has in the past come out with a more powerful engine, example 02 cl55, then they added supercharger in 03. this will be the same progression. after testing and some time they will be adding turbos to this engine in the future. this car does not have enough special about it to make me have to have one.
