My SL55
I bought this SL55 after owning a SL500. When I bought the SL500 I was in awe. It was a great car. I made a mistake one day and drove the SL55 when I stopped by the showroom to have my SL500 serviced. The difference was unbelievable..The car has the style, power and drives like no other. If anyone is looking to buy the ultimate convertible, the SL55 is it!
Wow power
The same advice they give jet pilots. When you pass another car be sure to be thinking where you will be, not where you are. It is so fast and powerful that unless you want to race a top fueler at the local drag strip you don't need more power or speed. This car handles so well you have to remember not to nod off thinking it is driving itself. Spending this kind of money seems overkill until you drive and drive and keep looking forward to driving it again. What a rush. No regrets and lets's face it, the looks on the drivers of the "Z's" is precious as they do a double and triple take while eyeing the sparkling AMG on the stern. Ever fishtail doing 70 and stomping on it? This does it!
Worth Keeping A real Sleeper
Once you drive this on the open road, you will want to keep it. The engine in this car is fantastic! Only modification made was a smaller pulley. Wish it had an upgraded radio system and backup camera. This car is a sleeper - Who would think a convertible would go 130 mph?
