Just saw an SLS

Car looks incredible in the flesh. I flipped a quick beyotch to hopefully grab some pics, but my progress was shut down by an older lady in a Buick so I lost him. Yeah, I know basically a worthless thread but I was stoked to see that car. It looks amazing from the front! Next time I will grab pics.

Right on, I know it's a matter of time until I see one or two here in So Cal. I managed to see one of the first SL65 BS cars right after they were released in my home town.

From what I've seen the SLS is a stunner.

The SLS is a great car and even greater is the exhaust sound I can't wait until they depreciate down to half price, then you'll see them everywhere

on GT board..yes i know there vids are some times fishy
but they have an SLS race a RS6 v10 biturbo modifed to 700hp and it kept up n seemed to pull at some points.

might be worth a look
also note aside from the HP increase of the normal 63 engines it has a wicked gear box, that shifts like mad, and has weight/aero (i think) on its side

2004 E55 AMG
I was working in Monterey and saw roughly 10 of them one day. This was before there were sold to the public, so it was a pretty cool experience. I also saw one at Cars & Coffee a few months ago. Pretty nice looking car, IMO.

They had half a dozen of them here in Atlanta running two weekends in June. For $1800...you got to tear around Road Atlanta in one. And not worry about wrecking it.

I, unfortunately, was in West Palm for a wedding. Blah. OK. So maybe it wasn't so Blah because my uncle let me tear around in his ACR for about 20 min. :-)

Next year, I'm definitely in for the AMG event.

Very true. I saw the the GT board video a while back. Still want to find one and run it for fun to see how my land yacht does.
