Im including a poll as well, which is your favorite choice?

 

[Zafiro]

I pick SL55, the differences in acceleration are not big and the car handles better. Instead of one SL65 I buy one SL55 + one M5

 

[PanterroR]

SL55...

No need for SL65...

 

[LaArtist]

SL55 hands down..especially after the FL..wich gives it an even better look ( thought it was impossible)..

The SL65 is just nutts.. its like a SLR for ppl that want to hide..
not for me..

 

[dOmInIX]

55 for me.

 

[Bruce]

SL55 for myself

 

[ree]

SL 55 AMG!! It has enough power and the sound, the sound is just amazing...

 

[Alx]

Ive said it many times before, the SL55 is the way too go...

 

[cawimmer430]

SL55 AMG for me. Better balanced than the SL65 AMG and powerful enough. There's no other way to sum it up.

 

[Matt]

well i certainly wouldnt voluntarily give that money to the poor
Give me an SL55 and the rest ill spend on a bimmer.

 

[dpr]

SL55 for me aswell.

But if we are talking S-class, then its a diffrent story... The S65 i awesome!!!

 

[audi_rudy]

sl55 is the better car overall...though i wouldnt mind havin an 65 on my boot rather than a 55 but whatever

 

[RICHBOY]

Don't like none of the choices, give me the SL65 cash!

 

[C.Charles]

55 FTW. Looks as good, performs as good and better and I can almost afford one. in a million years.

 

[lambornima]

sorry to be the one to say, but with good launches for both cars, the 65 will DESTROY the 55. give me the 65. with minor mods the car will have well over 700 hp

 

[Mr. M]

If I'm a sensible person, I'll go for the SL55. But since I'm already buying the SL why not buy the King.

 

[Merc1]

I'll take the SL55 too for the sound it makes.

[MikeJ]

SL55 is probably the better car of the two and the more sensible choice, but I've never been known for being sensible when it comes to cars... I need some time to make up my mind.

 

[ree]

Also a SL 550 would cover everything! The sound is amazing, too and 388hp are completely enough. Then you could spend the rest for a new C 350 or maybe an E-Class, a Golf GTI or whatever you want to have...

 

[Gullwing]

SL55, with a few mods you can have near the same power as the 65 and have enough money leftover to get something else.
You really can't increase the power on a 65 that much, bye bye transmission.
