In my opinion most women are bad drivers, however the good ones are usually very very good, so watch your step!

... you do know that both cars share identical 7g tranny- right?

trust me- my wife currently drives an slk55 that i drive from time to time and i do have some time behind the wheel of an sl63 and at least for me the slk55 is more of a driver car than the sl63... both are no sports cars, but the slk feels more like one...

alex
few cars
but from my personal experience, the mct is VERY different from the other 7g tranny in the other amgs. the shift speed is just on another level with the mct. it is just lightning fast. the upshifts are quite a bit faster while the downshifts are lightyears faster. the older 7g tranny is just SLOW with the gear changes.

and i don't agree with the 55 engine sounding similar to the 6.2 engine. you said that putting an x pipe would make the sound more aggressive. then what about putting x pipe into the 6.2? im sure it will sound even better!

the only thing that the slk is better is its size and weight.

and i think you just need more seat time in the sl63.

cheers.

Get rid of those front side markers, your car looks fantastic but even more without them. Get the paint shop to paint them gloss black, that's what I do
when I have a car with them.
