Dumping the CL? The SL is a drop dead gorgeous car. Good Luck with your search!

Drove up to Orlando on Sunday to see that car. Was hoping to buy it; however, paint meter revealed that the rear quarter and front fender had paint work. The search continues.

Sound differences between the SL55AMG vs SL65AMG. Day and night! LOVE the SL65!

Good comparison.

SL55 sounds like Transformers.

SL65 sound like the A-Team.

First thing that popped into my head.

Do your homework on any cars for sale in the Chicagoland area. We have some dealers here who are very "creative" with the truth!

Steve, you better drop that car to at least 10.50s before you sell it I can't believe you're letting it go already, it's been quite a journey following its development and realizing its potential

I promise to try to get a 10.5 before its gone, but this 80 - 90 degree humid weather isn't helping any.

Just time for something different (with the same engine). Going to take everything we learned from the CL project and apply it to the next car with maybe some better intercoolers.

Glad to hear it.... with your driving skills, I think you'll break the record with any car you pick

As you like breaking records it has to be SL65, more tune-able, mind you you've done CL65 already. Why not wait until something with a V8 TT comes
along.

Thanks sound 8. For now going to do one more project with the 65 motor and then may give the new 5.5 TT a try.
