I don'think this is AMG crashing anybodies party...this is most probably the SL65 BS that is privatly owned by somebody in orange county...he just got it last week!
As you might have noticed - this one is not US spec.

Very Nice! What would have been more in your face is if the ZR1 would have shown up 30min after the SL BS.

...if one can pull off to get a car like this before anybody else has ever seen one, then that usually comes with some do's/dont's...

No, no one in the US has bought one. They are not available for sale yet, anywhere. I can assure you this. It doesn't matter if it's Mika Hakkinen, Mercedes will not release this car early because someone is an uber baller. And we do have one coming.

I simply stated that I would bet that SL65 Black Series that we have coming that there is not one sold to a customer in the United States yet. Period. Not to the president of MBUSA or the guy who offered them 2 million dollars for one (if there is such a guy).

Oh and your right, we definitely won't be the first, and honestly couldn't care if were the last... All I know is I will have daily seat time in one when it does get released in the US, and to me, thats good enough
