Its a terrible picture and I was astonished when I saw the SL in front of me the car looks very nice and will go down in history as the SL pagoda successor due to its tall headlights.

The grille which has a 1960's SL design and even the hood which has the Bulges that resemble the hood of the 300SL Roadster and Gullwing models, if I were to get one the SL63 is highly impressive with the launch control and 7 Speedshift G-tronic which shifts faster than the 7Gtronic found on cars that are built from 2005-2008.

Enthusiasts who crave for torque which was derived in an mad way from the M113 EVO K engine found in the likes of the E-class, G, CLS and SL are all saddened that it is no longer available but even if this model has torque deficiency of 90tq I say nothing like a Kleemann kit with Ecu update, Headers + Downpipes wont improve and with the likes of the charcoal filters removed, green filters and x pipe it will be very very fast for its weight.

I drove a 997 turbo yesterday and I would love to own one but you see, there is something about that car that doesnt fit or lets say suite my personality. The interior is great and filled with carbon fiber, leather, alluminium and many contrasting items such as yellow stitching but there is something about that car that didnt keep me feel acquainted. Now if I had to drive the SL I would really feel good in it as its meant to fit me well because I truly adore GT cars such as the Maserati new coupe, Jaguar's, Astons and the list goes on.

Well I just have to say that the same thing applies to many cars and when the first time the public so the R171 they said its too cute and not too wide enough.
