It's weird, it's like a family website but under his page it's basically all about his cars. Here's direct to his page.

Sweet car, but...
According to the latest C&D article:
"What you don't get with the SL65, oddly enough, is a time that is faster to 60 mph than the SL600's, a car that costs a mere $130,820. The SL600 does the deed in 3.6 seconds, the $182,720 SL65's best time was 3.8 seconds. Please don't call urging that we take competence tests. The "problem," as we've said, with the SL65 is that it doesn't have adequate traction to handle the horsepower hysteria. The rear tires have the same width as the SL600's, despite the AMG car's additional 111 horses and 148 pound-feet.
All that oomph makes it nearly impossible to launch the SL65 hard without excessive wheelspin."
Looks like the SL600 is still a better package despite the lack of an AMG badge & price.

though i agree that for the price difference the sl65 is definitely a lot more money for a little more
