Re: CLK63 Black Series vs SL65 Black Series

Compared to the SL65 AMG Black Series, the CLK63 AMG Black Series looks feminine. Looks wise, it doesn't stand a chance.

The only question is how much better the SL65 is from a performance point of view, especially on a twisty track??

Re: CLK63 Black Series vs SL65 Black Series

To me the SL65 BS is bizarre... it is not beautiful at all. Looks like they took a ballerina and made a WWE wrestler out of her using only illegal Russian products. It might be fast but you'd better be sitting inside it so that you can't see it.

Your position is somewhat understandable...lol. I'll admit that this SL Black Series would have been even more perfect (at least on paper) with the AMG V6 tuned to about 580hp and the new MCT gearbox. Of course with the V8 it would be lighter too, under 4000lbs.

Re: CLK63 Black Series vs SL65 Black Series

I would go with the Black Series. Just love the car… …little bit busy at the moment. So I missed all these updates.

Re: CLK63 Black Series vs SL65 Black Series

I would be interested to know how many people would choose the SL65 BS over the SLR. I suspect most ...but I'm not certain
