SLS AMG Iridium Silver Red Interior
Got my SLS last night

I picked up my SLS ,sat night. Iridium Silver, red interior, carbon fiber console and B&0 stereo. Words cannot describe this car. It has a beastly growl, tons of torque and is comfortable and quiet at low speeds in comfort mode. I am a lucky man.

Congrats, now we need some pics, I am on the fence of either the classic irridium with red interior, or the Lemans red and ivory/white interior. You have a serious car on your hands, I just spent a full day with two SLS, one with the full performance pack and the other without, I left very very impressed and cant get that car out of my mind. Enjoy, btw, when you swing the door open, would you say you need about the same amount of clearence from the car beside you, I was wondering about that in the car garage.

The SLS is a great car. I spent a few days with it on the track at the AMG Academy and just didn't want to get out of it

The sound of the car is on a whole new level

Congrats on your new car, enjoy in good health

OK! LOL I will take some pictures soon. My wife has some nice pro cameras, so I will try and get some good photos. I'm still trying to figure out how hard I can drive it for the first 1000 miles. Right now I am keeping the revs under 5000 and usually way under.

Hey August. Did the dealer force you to pay the 25k premium you spoke of on a different thread?

Congrats on the new ride. I had the pleasure of driving it at road Atlanta this summer. It is one intoxicating machine. I still dream about it.

That car is amazing. Only car I would consider over a 997 911 Turbo.
