2013 SL 63 rear axle

Anyone know if the '13 SL63 shares the rear axles with the SL65? I ask as the tuned E63 and CLS63 achilles heel is weak rear axles that will snap with frequent drag racing. The 65 stock TQ is about the same as a tuned 63 biturbo so that should alleviate that problem if so.

Don't know, but I doubt that AMG would build a rear configuration that would have to be swapped out (cost wouldn't be worth it, methinks).

That's what I was thinking too, but you never know.
