Weird option on my sl63
So last night I picked up my new to me 2011 sl63. It has a very odd option that nobody at the dealer or I can figure out. Code is P20 says AMG PERFOAMCE PREP PACKAGE and it's 1200. It's NOT the 9k or whatever performance package that moves the limiter etc. I know that. But what is it??

I think it might be provisions for the performance package.

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension
Ive seen that before, you dont have the performance pkg. it is partial parts like the wheels or steering wheel, only for looks.

Nope. Same wheels and steering wheel as another car that didn't have it. The split spoke 19's and regular steering wheel.

How big are the front brake rotors? When you jack up the rear and put the trans in neutral, do both wheels turn the same direction?
