Sl65
Just a thought, and please forgive me as I am by no means trying to sound like a d bag. But have you considered with all the money you are putting into your 55 just saving instead to get the 65? Speaking from experience as well as I now have my second 65 and they are really fully depreciated right now.

speaking for myself on your question, i would do the same things to an sl65, haha. it is all relative and it doesn't matter what you get, it just needs to be modified. no money would be saved by getting another car.

Speaking of which....
Speaking of upgrading...I just ordered from Jerry at Eurocharged the Kleemann headers and the Shardul belt wrap kit.....
That and the 180mm pulley and another retune of my ECU/TCU from Jerry are gonna go on in a few weeks, just need to find the time to drop the car off at my mechanic shop......
He said the car is about to get a lot faster... i can't wait to find out and I'll try to remember to post up some driving reviews of how it feels....
P.S. - How difficult of an install is the belt wrap kit and how long should it take to do?
