I think this car is the reason why some are skittish about the GT, but from those who've driven both, they say the GT is NOT the SL; they are completly different. Enjoyed your video
not gonna lie I would really like to get my hands on one of these to test out(and do a photoshoot with) at some point. I've always been a big bmw fan and mroe recently a huge porsche fan, but this might be the first SL I REALLY like from an aesthetics and interior perspective. It strikes me as something that is a level above an M8 or vantage but a level below a DB11 or portofino m but doesn't exactly make sense to someone looking to buy a 911 GTS Cab so it almost makes no sense which is why it could make so much sense. It strikes me as more of a luxury roadster that happens to be fast than a luxury sports car.
Yea man… my issue with this car though is that it is slow and quiet. I think a tune and Downpipes would fix the problem. My problem I guess is that I’m used to crazy shit, which I this is far from. I can see why people would buy this, but I wouldn’t…
Great shot at the beginning guys! It was nice to have another car review on the channel, I feel like we hadn’t seen one in quite awhile! The car really is beautiful but I guess power didn’t match looks this time 🤷🏻♀️
Excellent and honest review and a killer intro bro. I agree with your take on this car. To me there’s only one great SL - the W113. It rocks my old-man soul.
So happy that you enjoyed this review. I wish I had enjoyed making it more than I did.... Car was kinda flat. Need to try the 63 now... Love the W113. Never driven one, but I'm thinking it would be a super fun cruiser.
Love the video but they should have just done a refresh of the 02-08 body style, I saw one of these yesterday and omg they are ugly, give me an 02-08 sl55 amg, or even Sl600 biturbo over these anyday... Jeezuz,
I literally saw that car on the road in a really nice grey color for the first time and I was trying to figure out what it was lol. Great review!! but that SL 63 tho...🔥
These are ugly compared to the 2002-2008 era of SLs. New Mercedes have no identity on the road. In my 2004 AMG SL I turn heads everywhere I go. 11:15 that looks like a Toyota with a rear spoiler
Excellent review, Mick! It is a beautiful car, inside and out, but I would want the 63 not the 55--if I could afford it, which I can't...but you got the lack of passion down perfectly. Would be great if you could test the 63 to see if the added power makes a difference. It doesn't always, Porsche Turbo vice GT3 being a great example. But in this case, it may.
I think this car straight piped with a tune would be a monster. The 63 has the big daddy turbo's. I'm sure the power makes a difference. I will see if I can get my hands on one. I still think I would go AMG GTR convertible all day at these price points.
@@MiamiMiles there is not AMG GTR convertible produced anymore. This blends the old SL with the GTC & the S Class drop top. The SL63 is advertised at 3.6 0-60, but has been regularly tested doing it in 3.0-3.1. I think that would be enough to make that "punchyness" we'd like
@@kiyalami8478 Can't wait to hear how good the car turns out with this. The gearing is everything in this car... An amazing car my friend and the perfect mod. Congrats :)
A 911 all day every day. And 469HP from a 4.0 twin turbo V8 is laughable. A C8 Corvette is a better car than this. Great video review but Mickey, never shave your beard. It gave you that champagne Papi if you know what I mean.
Actually whether the car is boring or not is debatable. The fact that you're boring? Well that is not up for debate.
Car sucks bro. Hard to not be boring

I have the SL 55 with upgraded suspension, rims tires and calipers… stereo etc, and it’s amazing!!! You are 100% wrong!!!
I think it’s an awesome car, but it’s not an epic sports car. Can see your viewpoint tho. Happy you love it
It’s trying to capture younger customers just like the C8. This SL looks nice af

@@MiamiMiles Yeah I get it. Usually I'm biased towards cars that are more engaging and sporty but the SL is such a vibe car.
R230 m113K. Beast. I do like the new SL shape thou 👍🏼
definitely prefer the turbo s but the SL is still a great car!!
I swear I’ve seen this exact one on Turo in Miami haha. It’s fire!
It is that very same one…it’s a good rental for Miami
Thank you for your honest opinion.
Yea the car just didn’t do anything for me 🥹
U need an amg gtr convertible 🤣
Let’s goooo🎉
Review the Sl 63
I will the moment I can get my hands on it.

I have both. The SL600 is so quiet. Both great cars. I do like the new SL shape thou. A lot to think about.

@@MiamiMiles For sure!
Love your work!
Thank you my friend.
@@MiamiMiles Monday morning I will be at Deman for short gearing on the 718 Spyder + Ninemeister lightweight flywheel

I agree with this... Also, normally I don't shave. Just wanted to look 12 years old for a day haha.
