Hmmm Wow... so we are ALL going to win the lotto then?
63TT is comin'... that will be an intermediate verison so SL63 Black with 570hp, SL65 Black with 670hp.
At least thats what I can gather out of all the reports... dunno if the 63's styling will match that of the 65...
The 65 motor though while a beast is kinda old tech by todays standards and the 63TT will be a more efficient motor... but dayam 670-720 hp from that old motor is enuf to enter tracktor pulling contests....

Doesn't seem like it...this is quoted from the above article: "Weight savings also turned the car into a coupe. Instead of a heavy folding hardtop, the Black Series gets a fixed roof fortified with a fully integrated roll cage."

SL should equal convertible. Now this is pissin' me off...we're going to kill the character of the car to save 40lbs....hmmm....sounds like a great idea to me.

The fixed top was probably needed to support the roll cage and I wouldn't be suprised if it was an important structural part of the car.

If that is what they wanted to do, then they should have just started off with a CL to begin with, and then strip the weight out of it. This is ***-backwards...the SL should be a convertible.

Nice ending statement "What this means to you: The Corvette ZR1 is extreme. The SL65 AMG Black Series is downright ridiculous. You want one and you know it. "
