My Evosport SL63 evo3 with Long Tube Headers
I'm the lucky owner of the first SL63 IWC Evosport evo3. When I picked up the car from Evosport it was WHOLE different car! A beast more like it! Having a CLK63 Black series with the package I thought it would be the same. The car turned out so much better. The Black was already pretty radical stock but the SL63 went from mild to wild! With the 7 speed Sportshift and factory hi performance package on the IWC, the motor is quite different. With the Evosport Power Package including Long Tube Headers and Exhaust, the car sounds and revs like my 430 Ferrari. Unbelievable!Now the SL63 is a real sports car with tremendous acceleration for a heavy car. It's like they took 700 pounds out of the car the way it drives. HRE wheels and more rubber helps a bunch. Still using PS2's Who needs a 599 with this car and the top folds down! Just take a look at their video (youtube Evosport SL63). Can't wait to get a quater mile time on this beast.

Thanks to Simon and the crew at Evosport. They turned the SL63 into a real monster in sheeps clothing. Had a SL55 Kleeman, still have a CL65 Kleeman and a CLK63 Black Series so I have a good comparison. Steve.

That thing is beautiful and sounds awesome. I too can't wait to hear about what kinda 1/4s the beast lays down.

I was next to Evosport's shop a few weeks ago and I heard it in person. It sounded mean!

Congrats on a great mod and have fun with it!
