Or maybe I'm just nuts.]]>Feb 8th 2008 1:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/
This years, while certainly more aggressive, DEFINITELY does not really "fit" together. In addition, and quite frankly, the back end is getting quite dated. ]]>Feb 8th 2008 1:59AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/Feb 8th 2008 2:09AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/Feb 8th 2008 2:14AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/
I wouldlove to have this trouble with my 240Z track car!]]>Feb 8th 2008 2:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/
"Each forged connecting rod is precisely "cracked" with the help of a laser beam, so the irregular fracture contributes to its strength when the two halves are clamped around the crankshaft."

Sounds odd. Oh, and I'm with all of you on the looks - to be honest, I much prefer the current look]]>Feb 8th 2008 2:50AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/Feb 8th 2008 2:55AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/Feb 8th 2008 3:06AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/
Is it? I always thought the AMG V8 was a 6.2.

What kind of weirdo gearbox is that? "Multi-Clutch"? Is it just the planetary gearsets of the 7G-Tronic with a wet clutch instead of the torque converter?]]>Feb 8th 2008 3:09AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/Feb 8th 2008 1:48PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/This is actually what every BMW M engine since the early 90s is made like.]]>Feb 8th 2008 3:10AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/
Even with this latest refresh, the car still doesn't live up to the high design standards of previous generations. However, the engines are pretty amazing (604 HP and and 738 lb-ft of twist!!!).]]>Feb 8th 2008 3:17AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/Feb 8th 2008 3:46AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/Feb 8th 2008 3:59AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/Feb 8th 2008 6:20AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/Feb 8th 2008 7:22AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/
And frankly, some ridiculous power on tap there.

Would take an SL AMG over an SLR in a heartbeat.]]>Feb 8th 2008 7:40AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/Feb 8th 2008 7:48AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/08/officially-official-mercedes-benz-unveils-2009-sl63-and-sl65-am/
MB knows how to get power in their engines, but handing hasn't been their thing

overall a let down, when is this car due for a redesign]]>Feb 8th 2008 8:48AM
