I saw a guy on the freeway with it and it was simply amazing looking. I drove next to him and behind him for a bit in awe. The brakes are simply the largest I have ever seen on a production car. 604hp is impressive but check out the torque that monster makes. I think it makes like mid 700#'s or torque.

Sexxxy car. I saw an old dude driving one on the carpool lane near Miramar, almost blew past until I saw the 65. But an automatic?!?! C'mon Mercedes, gimme a break.

they don't have ANY?! :eek:

Cars like this one, though, are often seen as too powerful for a stick ... its just too damn fast, gotta have the auto to sort it all out!

I still would demand a paddle shift or something though, straight auto would kill much of the fun even if it is blindingly fast.

I don't like the looks of the new Benz SLs, but damn are they amazing!

Well the new M5 will only be in AUTO (smg) only

I saw a kid....no more than 18.....at Costco.........in SANTEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figured...ok...he is gassing it up for someone.....but went........WTF? Why would you gas up someone elses sl65???

So I went over and talked to him....he was a little "sweet on me"....but whatever.....I asked....what kind of work do you do to be able to afford a ride like this?

he said.......

"I have really nice parents"
