SL63 the reason

I watched Top Gear last night, the three presenters had a Ferrari, Aston and a Lambo and their job was to find the best road in the world to drive on, needless to say it was twisty. I loved it, especially when using the paddles and oh the noise. So this morning I drove the SL63 to work, waited until it was up to temp then slid into manual and put my foot down. By the time I got to work I had a grin a mile wide, it was like being on top gear, fantasy I suppose but we all have em! Oh that sound and the burbles and bangs on the over run, and the growl on acceleration and lightening shifts, this IS THE REASON to buy this car, it's very fast, but speed doesn't come into it.It's the gearbox and exhaust that set it apart from all the other SL's.

The exhaust 'song' on all of the 63 cars is completely intoxicating.

sound 8, please contact MB immediately and apply for the SL63 spokesperson position. Even if the car will be replaced very soon and is only a facelifted 230 with an N/A engine...you can still do your part to move those that remain on dealer lots including those examples that have been put back out on the lot after debuggin the MCT issues upon being returned back by their original buyers.

Hi, does your Corvette completely blow your 63 away.
Thought about re mapping your 63, mine's been done, and I like the improvements.
