Good Afternoon MBworld!

I hope everyone is having a great day, I took notice of this SL65 sleeping next to our Rfactor race sim. I started to snap photo's for everyone.

This car is SO CLEAN that the owner will NOT allow us to wash it!!! We really love to see cars like this. This particular SL65 has so much love and care that it makes me smile....

We sent out the ECU to our Kleemann friends and we are ready to make some power!

What do you guys think it will dyno?

I'm guessing 520/720.....Just a guess

It sits stock and will be tuned shortly! I wanted to share such a clean unique vehicle with everyone...

Have you dyno'd your S600? If so, how much power?

Sorry.. was not trying to be a dick just thought I would see some SL65 making some huge power.

We made 514/637 on a Dynojet.

NO worries! I didn't think you sounded dick, I understand!

Hopefully, I will have a dyno vid of that car in the next couple of days!

We have dyno'd one before but I believe it was having issues.

It made like 694TQ.....something HUGE

I'm surprised to see a shop working on a AMG car without plastic protective interior covers for seats, steering wheel and floor. Hopefully you also have some fender pads.

I don't think the owner would be too pleased to walk into the shop unexpected and see his love bedded down this way.

Was down at the dealer today and found an SL65 on the show room floor.

His looks cleaner, kudos to the owner, he's got heart.

I understand what your saying but have you seen pics of our operation?

Our facilty is BEYOND spotless.....but when we are working under the hood, we do use fender pads etc.

If anyone is local, I recommend they come check us out!

WELL, the SL65 owner came and took his car before I could get some action vids. He is supposed to come back for a Dyno soon and I will update the post!

The tech that worked on it usually doesn't talk about cars but he came to me and said, "WOW, THIS THING MOVES" He couldn't stop talking about it!!!


I bet it makes 720+tq....

Yep, just call Steve at 214-350-3050.....

Tell him that you are one of our MBworld customers.....

Also, tell him you want to dyno.

Did you ever figure out anything about the lowering your SL?
