65 is such a Beast!
I think the new,lighter SL65 with the new tranny will be the car to beat,even in stock form.
Lightly modded will be unbeatable with anything short of a Veyron.

the new tranny will help with the high speed roll-ons typical for the autobahn, but 0-60, 0-120.. the car needs to be awd to play with the big boys

Look at the hugely expensive Panamera TT S with excellent 0-60,beating basically every other sedan on the market in that benchmark but losing to a lot of same sedans when comparing the acceleration at speed.
I don't want to brag about my car's 0-60,I want to know that my car is superior in real driving.

I have an sl65 and I spin at anything below 70 or so... And that is with 305s in the back. So in real life especially in the us that pretty much means that whatever we have for power cannot be put down at any typical street race or for paper bragging rights.

Having drivin and worked on both I'd have to say SLS for the daily driver and SL BS for the weekend warrior. The SL BS will roast the tires at any speed when you punch it. The clearance issues on it make it hard to drive in most places. I've hot lapped the SLS at Laguna Seca and all I can say is the car is so well balance it can make anyone feel like a pro driver.
