Hello Guys

I'm new to the SLS portion of the forum. I just pulled the trigger on a new AMG SLS GT Roadster. I traded in my 2013 SL550 and my 2004 Corvette Z06. The car should arrive at the dealership next week.

After much help in the R231 section, I may just be asking an occasional question here.

I just wanted to introduce myself.

Eric

Mine is iridium silver with a black top. The interior is red.

Although I didn't need a lot of options, this car is loaded. Extended carbon fiber interior and mirror caps, AMG performance media, Bang & Olufsen radio.

The car should be at the dealer tomorrow. It is being shipped down from Ohio in an enclosed trailer.


From the dealer....
I DO HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU , YES WE CAN GET THIS VEHIECLE FOR YOU. ONLY ONE IN COUNTRY
THANKS

That sounds like the same build as mine, color choices and B&O, i dont have the carbon interior which I kind of wanted but now am satisfied with the aluminum trim, matches the outside of the car....sounds exciting, I remember not being able to sleep before I took delivery of mine, mind you, now that the car has been in storage since the end of november and might be on the road again in about six weeks, I find myself having trouble falling asleep with all the anticipation again.

Looks sharp--especially the red interior and extended carbon. I can't think of a better way to enjoy Florida weather than in your SLS. Enjoy it in good health!
