I saw a black one behind me the other day on the 60 freeway and it was brand new without plates. I let him pass and saw the SL 55 emblem.

What an incredible beast. Now if they could figure out how to make the electric window work longer than 3 days, we'd have a winner.

Great car, but why put the 5 speed auto transmission? Don't they have a 7-speed auto on their other, less powerful AMG models?

I dunno, but I doubt any 7spd auto could handle that kinda tq.
even a 5spd is highly suspect to getting torn to shreds.

I doubt the car will ever get a manual due to emmissions.

Ive seen a couple new E55's with blown motors, seems like a nice GT car, not for track use.
