Where are all the SL65BS owners
Amazed at the lack of posts on this subforum! I realize there aren't a huge number of SL black series out there but this place is a ghost town!!

'08 CLK63 Black Series
Please see latest SL Black Series resale values to let you know where the owners are--as amazing as a car this is there does not seem to be any passion behind it's ownership. I'm not hating on the car as I truly love it--it's just that the owners do not seem engaged and there is relatively rapid turnover. SL Black=great car, no passion.

Although I love taking the beast out of it's cage on occasion, it does not flick at my senses the way my GT3 RS does. Even though the Black has nearly twice the "everything"(except the excitement), I have a much more enjoyable drive in my Porsche. I cannot imagine my senses in the new Aventador or 458... Even my freind's SLR Mclaren is a bit of a bore, if you're not trying to pound it on the open road. I've heard the Mclaren MP4-12 is lacking in visceral excitement (comparatively).
My guess is that they are too refined and controlled. But, they look like they would be the devil reincarnated (they sure go like it). AMG needs a flashy, fun car that gives the driver plenty of shrinkage in his jockey-shorts. Sorry, but that just hasn't happened yet, not even with an SL65 Black Series.

I have to agree that there is a silence on the Black Series front. I am the first (and last) owner of my Black SL, but I'm very alone in this GT3, DBS, and M-Powered environment. Many, many C63s running around, the occasional SLS, but the Black's be damned. Just doesn't seem to be much spark behind the AMG badging.

The club I started is the only one in the NorthEast and constantly has exclusive conjoining events with the Ferrari Club of America, Exotics Rally, and the like, we are currently working on official MBUSA recognition and sponsorship.
If anyone is interested please do not hesitate to let me know! This is not ment to be an advertisement of any kind but a mere call to arms of sorts.
Hope to see more of you guys out on the streets,
Adam

I've seen quite a few of them here in Dubai, white, black, dark gray and a few vinyl wrapped. I snap pics anytime I can, sex on wheels.

2013 G63 AMG
I'm here! But this forum is boring for the black series!
It's a really good looking car but it's too fast and has too much torque for its own good!
Our CLK 63 black series is much more fun!
But i drive the SL65 black series quite often. It's so beautiful, sounds great and is a real head turner. Also very smooth as a daily driver! Just obnoxious when you floor it!
