So there's my 04 SL65 and the Mrs's 'cute' 05 SLK 350.
Thing is though, she's got 7 gears and I've only got 5 and even though it's not a competition (apparently!) it just doesn't seem right somehow, when I've got more horses and wider tyres, that there should be fewer gears between them...
I've had the SL65 for a whole week now and I'm wondering what options were available initially and hence relative ease (or not) of various retro-fitting possibilities.
Does anyone know where I might find a list of the options originally offered for this model in '04?
I think I'd be crying too if they did this to my car......

Any one has any experience of the V12 bi-turbo?
I'm told the engine and drivetrain is pretty reliable.
No doubt it's a boat and less nimble than an SL55, but...
Since Monday, the SL65 has been on show at Liverpool St Station.
Anyone work around/pass through the station and seen it? Just been out on my lunch to get a close up.
Beast of a thing that is. I think its awesome. :rock:
However....I thought Merc have stopped making V12 motors now, Is this...
We have just mapped (via RENNtech) a customers SL65.
It is currnetly the fastest car I have ever driven. The power is just mind blowing. I just can't believe how fast this car is. It is just ballistic.
The SL in question is owned by a local guy that loves fast cars and he is bringing it to...
