SLS x 2 = happy times!

My new SLS brother (a member of this forum as well) and I picked up a pair of new silverbirds yesterday at Mercedes Benz World, Brooklands, UK. Mine is imola grey with red interior. Let the break-in commence!



Initial impressions:
- A bit intimidating to drive, front end feels immensely long, especially me being used to 991s.
- Sound is awesome, the crackling on overrun, the burble at steady throttle, V8s make a good noise.
- Interior fit and finish are great, electronics are all bog standard MB and all the better for it.
- Changes directions almost as eagerly as my GT3, will get it to Spa or 'Ring after break in to get a better feel for handling.
- Gearbox is a bit clunky at slow speeds, but feels well matched to the character of this car.
