Its final my sl65 was dropped off
Well Vadim showed up on time and with my new baby. It was sad to see the e55 go and my wife still thinks I should have kept that car over the new one. First thoughts the cars are very different. Considering my e55 was a k2 it almost felt faster then the sl65 but the sl65 is just quiet and smooth power that only stops when you release the gas. I didnt have time to really get on it as it was raining and I just wanted to get the car home. Well I am going to try and get it to the track tomm or next friday depending on work and we will know for sure how much faster it is. After that it is off to Cory for some more power.

Bet you won't get much sleep again since you're probably detailing your new baby after getting rained on.

Thats so funny before I got online I was cleaning all the leather and getting her all cleaned up. I will take her in to wash tomm. The first thing I did was pop that hood and look at that big carbon cover on the engine. I may need some one to help me post pics tomm. I will take some tomm and also post the ones of the e55 i never did.

Congrats. But i would do the Renntech ECU over Kleemann, As far as i know, no one gets more power on the SL65 then the Renntechs ECU and TCU.

Can't wait to see pics! If it's the one I am thinking of at MBLN the color combo is stunning!
I second what Eurotech said about contacting Renntech for mods. They make the turbo Mercs fly.
Enjoy the ride!

Congrats on the new car 
I've driven it and it is very fast. Just curious if you had given thought to any other cars and what made you get the SL. At those dollars there are a lot of possibilities!
