The Mercedes-Benz SL fans thread

[Justin Syder]

I am a hugh fan of the new 5th generation SL (R230) and I want to create a thread for discussions on this car, the current model, or past SL's. I have tons of pics and even videos on the new SL and would post or send them to ppl. If anyone wants to share pics, vids or comparisons of the SL model to other cars or with older versions, here is the place to do it. Anyone also have links or other places to find out about the SL pot them here. I'll start with a few.

germancarfans.com -this is a site of all german cars and has over 100 pics of the new SL, the SL55 AMG, SL500, SL600 and SL350.

http://amg-owners-club.com -this is a site with AMG cars and SL pics and videos. There are 2 SL videos and are worth the download if you have dial up like me.

-Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG in Capri blue metallic with 5-Hole Style K wheels, NICE!!!!!!!

I once stood next to an early '90s 500SL when the driver started the engine... what a great sound it made! :D

[Justin Syder]

I was at the New York International Autoshow and I got in the SL500 and SL55 AMG. Its great and fits me like a glove. I am in love with the SL55 AMG but it is one expensive glove at $113,000.
I wish I could hear the engine up close or put the top up.

Yea, sat in the car too, fantastic, but my fav merc sl is the SL55k modified by kleemann, looks fantastic , feels fantastic and the interior is superb

My brother has a good mate whose dad owns an SL55 and he lets him drive it everywhere. Its a pity that they are going to sell it in a few weeks. Unfortunately the pics are too big to post here, but they are floating around on the sc.net forums.

I remember when I went there the guy hosting me had a 7 series that he had to pay some ridiculous tax on a year (I think around AUS$15,000) and we went for a half an hour drive and went through like 4 E-Tag stations.

I think the best SL is either one of the following:
1-Brabus K8
2-Kleeman SL
3-AMG SL55
The attachment is a Kleeman SL..Coool:cool:

Hello, everyone,

we are searching for interesting stories about the brand "Mercedes" for an exihibition with the concept "brand and man". Since you are all fans of Mercedes-Benz SL, you may know some people who have done something cool with the sign of Mercedes: for example people who paint the star of Mercedes on their garden fence or build a coffin in the form of a Mercedes car etc. If you could give us some clues or informations about this theme, we would be very thankful.

Cheers, Totems

[islero]

scuse me mate, SL55 and SL55 AMG are the same. mebbe a typo? oh, and SL65 and SL65 AMG too.

[RS6]

The SL55 AMG is probably the best SL you can buy today but I still think that the 300SL Gullwing is the sweetest SL ever.

I agree.

i think SL65 is better than SL55.

[RS6]

i think SL65 is better than SL55.

But it loses the amazing sound and feel for the road. I think 476 bhp in an SL is decent enough.
