Just bought an SL55.. new boy
Hi Chaps,
Have just bought an 03 SL55, collect tomorrow. Prices in UK have dropped considerably, and could not resist a bargain.
Car is 1 owner, 26k miles, Silver all options from main dealer.
Will use for summer hooning.
Also have a 997RS for fast road and am racing a 997 cup car in Porsche Open series in UK, am racing at Silverstone on May 31st.
Cheers
Rob

Am gonna look at the ECU re-map + pulley upgrade.. + possible exhaust tweak!
What is the best way to get a good exhaust sound, without having to spend mega bucks..?

Congrats Rob, hope you enjoy it.
If I were to set about "hooning" in my CL55, what type of equipment would I need? An what would be the goal?
Thanks for educating me, I grew up speaking American.

Congrats on the 55 and it sounds like you got a great deal. When it's time to work that ECU and pulley, we have been getting some great results and making happy clients. We would love to add you to our growing world wide client base.

Congrats, Kurgen. That sounds like a great deal! I'm also driving a SL 55 and a Porsche and I've learned that you just cannot get the feel of these two worlds in one car... so there's no way around getting them both!
