Does the introduction of the SLS mean the demise of the SL65.
The SLS is quicker on paper 0-60 3.8 secs, and the new SL looks a bit like the SLS. The quoted bhp for the SLS is 560+, sounds familiar, has it got a re-mapped SL63 engine? apparently they sound very similar, or does it go further than that. Of course being much lighter than 63 or 65 is the reason why it's so quick along with the extra BHP. The 65 of course is a convertible, but if that's all your after then there's SL600,500 and 63.
Your comments are welcome.

From the article:

The SLS iteration of what AMG continues to call a 6.3-liter V8 (despite its actual 6,208cc displacement, an homage to the 6.3-liter Mercedes with which AMG earned its reputation in racing) has been pumped up to 563 hp through revisions to the valvetrain and the intake and exhaust systems.

So no it was not just a remap of the ECU...

As for the demise of the SL65...if the SLR (and SLR convertible) didn't cause the extinction of the SL65...why would the SLS?

Actually it has a revised intake, and tubular headers, but I was hoping the 63 had this as well, they said it was these mods that gave it it's exhaust note which happens to be very similar to the 63, darn,still worth a try.
What about the rest, do you think it will kill off the 65!
