incredible !

utter success for amg on the sls. astonishing power, vault-like (no cliche here) build quality, wonderful handling and one of the VERY best sounding motors of all-time. all in all one of the exceptional gt cars on the market. can't imagine anything else i would prefer.

Congrats; great to hear

What specs on your car? Sport chassis, forged wheels and CCB?
Any impressions re: shift speeds/effectiveness in SportPlus vs Manual?

still breaking in. no ccb; feel they would be totally unnecessary on street... and supposedly noisy also.

unfortunately, pictures don't do justice to this car. for example, in pics the rear end looks awkward and abrupt whereas to me at least, in person the rear is fairly graceful.

Absolutely! I was lukewarm with all the pics but sat in one today and the quality of materials and build quality is awesome. As good as any Ferrari, and I have had a few. Very nice leather everywhere and magnesium seats. Very fast and exhaust sounded very aggressive yet quiet on freeway cruising. I think its the perfect daily driver.
