This dude makes one of if not the best videos ever, theyre informative, Entertaining, Cool, and have a special type of energy that whenever i watch a video of his, i cant stip it since theyre that good!
@@TedwardDrives why was the sl65 so quiet? I've heard it before and it has a pretty loud v12, even in your other video with this very car it was louder than today, was it in comfort mode?
Pure insanity!!! An absolute monster that looks beautiful and I can't even begin to imagine how that thing pulls!!! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Ps I love how you were quite reserved not taking any chances and let the "faster" boys go nice driving.
Awesome video. A little surprised that Mercedes would put so much on the engine and not build the rest of the car to handle the power better. Not a complaint, just surprised when you told us. Looks like TOO MUCH FUN out there.👍
The SL65 AMG Black Series is an old car now and at that time Mercedes priority was just luxury and highest comfort. Not really to be sporty like Bmw and Porsche. Times have changed and AMG Black Series are giving Porsche a headache today
1:02 I think I might’ve seen that Lexus LFA before! Same color, I believe! A few months ago or so, during the workday, I was driving west on Route 2, just before I got to the intersection with Bedford Road in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and it was heading east (downhill) on Route 2. In the past I’ve seen cars that I thought were the Lexus LFA but weren’t, so I couldn’t believe that I *actually* finally saw a Lexus LFA for the first time! It’s quite likely that it’s the same one, it’s not like there’s a surplus of those cars that were made.
mannnnn tell me why of all places a bass player at my old church out here in Covina had one, Absolutely incredible n to this day am baffled he was a bass player at church pullin up in THAT😂😂😂
Would have to guess he was just a good dude born into money or maybe just made the money on an invention or software and bounced with the cash to enjoy life.
Me: Wow Tedward is such a good driver, saw that the truck wanted to take a left turn so he checked that traffic was clear and let the truck turn first before entering the gas station lot, despite having right of way! Tedward: iTS aLL abOUt AppR0cH AngLEs bABYyyy Lmao 💀
Cool Video! But the brake thing is strange... I had a W211 E class with that brake system for around 6 years. Although mine wasn't an AMG but a 4cyl Diesel. I found the brakes very confidence inspiring. Emergency braking was possible with "the pressure of just 1 toe": Just move the brake pedal fast (not hard, not far) and you will bite into the steering wheel. It was the first standard brake system that "pulled off" the water film off the brake discs when it rained (therefore the e-class had a rain sensor as standard). That was incredible and didn't even increase wear (against my expectations) The other thing was that it automatically controlled which wheel got how much brake pressure in corners. -> dirng hard braking in a corner, most cars will understeer. The SBC made it feel like you just kept the line you had chosen with or without braking. But it had no ABS feel in the pedal, you just heard ABS working but didn't feel it in the pedal. Which i think is actually better for most drivers as they tend to lift off the brake when it starts pulsing, and that can make the difference between stopping before or in an obstacle. The only downside in my 6 years of use of that brake system were the last few cenitmeters before a standstill, it needed a lot of getting used to, to make that somewhat smooth. Otherwise the SBC had the best brakeperformance i ever experienced before using an actual AMG brake.
@@TedwardDrives Thanks for the reply! The criticisms i remember from german magazines were mostly about the missing pedal feedback. With the SBC, the pedal always feels the same, no matter if the brakes are cold or hot, if the pads worn or new...The system adjusts the pressure and travel so that the endresult in braking will always be the same.(as much as physics allow) Maybe with a more trackfocussed car like the Black Series drivers want that, in a normal car that's less interesting.
That’s how I like my v12 biturbo to sound, none of that backfiring popping crap, this new generation wants everything to sound like a fart can smh, my s65 is music to my ears
Ive seen some awesome cars in my life, delivering around Scottsdale and Paradise Valley Arizona. Even seen an s65 AMG, but never that elusive SL65 black. Same with the LFA, never seen one in person. Did get to see a real Carrera GT though. Seeing both those cars in the same spot would be quite a special sight indeed. So very jealous.
Yah that why the Lexus LFA is one of the rarest and most likely the most expensive car in that entire rally. Good joke bud. Id take that over the 65 black anyday. Theres an '09 SL65 that sold for 405k and a '12 LFA currently listed for 1 million dollars.
@@RubbishFPS you are right but I'm not talking about the economical value of it, of reselling it. just, what car would you prefer to use, drive on the road ?
Your very motivating, im so Jealous of you driving my dream Lamborghini Murciélago 6 speed. I’m praying I can acquire one by next year with some miles as I like to daily drive it. I would love to go for those mountain drives that I didn’t even knew exist in western mass. So beautiful. Hopefully we meet and I can drive with all these super cars.
Honestly it's not just the cars sometimes, it's the atmosphere, the vibe that really brings it to life!
You're absolutely correct!

Don't buy a Prius, just get this. It gets insane fuel economy!
Top Tip! You heard it here first
👌🙃

@@ridgefrost stock, all Benz V12s are pretty quiet. Most people modify the exhaust, that's why you may think they are loud!
I have a 2007 s65 amg and yea it drinks gas like a mf but worth every penny
One of the best looking Mercedes ever made in my opinion And i love your videos brother keep it up :)
Thank You!
Defo top 5 most good looking mercedes ever made 😻
from 2005 to 2024 I think the only other Mercedes that looks better than SL65 Black Series is the SLS which is just insanely gorgeous
The plate on the LFA is perfect. The tourque on the SL65 is outrageous and the video is great.
This car never looks old!
Timeless!
One of my all time favorite Mercs. This channel is too good
Pure insanity!!! An absolute monster that looks beautiful and I can't even begin to imagine how that thing pulls!!! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Ps I love how you were quite reserved not taking any chances and let the "faster" boys go nice driving.
That looks so exciting to participate in a rally! That's definitely a goal of mine to do. Wild run and footage in the SL65 AMG Black Series Tedward!
As cool as that Mercedes is, that blacked out Caprice toward the end stole my heart. Love those things.
Mate it's crazy that you say that, if anyone tried bringing one of those in Australia people would just think it's a taxi and ignore it
@@charliefm826 the only real way for civ’s to get them around here is after they’ve been retired and sold by a local police agency.
Cars and art is such a good combination
That factory widebody is just sooooo nice 🔥🔥
B-roll is on point, Tom! Reminds of the BOS2LAX Miata roadtrip series.
Ah man I'd love to do that again
Awesome video Ted! You should do more rallies if you can
Awesome video. A little surprised that Mercedes would put so much on the engine and not build the rest of the car to handle the power better. Not a complaint, just surprised when you told us. Looks like TOO MUCH FUN out there.👍
This car would prefer that the driver doesn’t live to see the intended destination 😂

That widebody and fitment 😩😩😩
This is the coolest Mercedes interior ever in my opinion
The SL has such a good license plate🤤
6969 plate goes hard
This is my favourite AMG to be made in the 00s after the SLR AMG
6:24 If only I was on Rt2 that day! There's quite a few cruise days and rallys on it, jdm stuff and muscle cars. Rt100 in VT too.
Lookin good tedward

Some day I hope to own a sports car like this. Until then I get by with tedward videos :))
That 992 GT3 sounds insane !
This was a fun one for sure.
Absolutely crazy video
awesome vibe! 😎🤙
Tedward, you have the best toys. I can't even!
This car ain't his.
Now THAT was a vibe
So cool to see you on some Connecticut roads!
I was at the Mohegan Sun car show a couple years ago
In my city in Switzerland we have an similar SL 65 Black Series with just 3`300 km. Its listed for 430`000 CHF
@0:42 I lowkey thought that was VitalyzdTv.
One of the best AMGs ever made
real as fuck
Please man, try out the manual carver 1. I just wanna see the gear shifts and a little bit of drifting in that thing.
Bummer getting stuck behind a box truck on The Hairpin!
3:43 autotopNL voice out of no where
You should make your videos longer i love these car meets
Appreciated! Would rather leave you wanting more than less
the top beast of amg v12 cars
I want to see you drive the 2023 m340
Best mercedes ever made
the casual mclaren sabre in the thumbnail….
one of the best performance and classy car i ever driven man... i think imma buy one again
mannnnn tell me why of all places a bass player at my old church out here in Covina had one, Absolutely incredible n to this day am baffled he was a bass player at church pullin up in THAT😂😂😂
I think I'd be checking the church's finances.
Would have to guess he was just a good dude born into money or maybe just made the money on an invention or software and bounced with the cash to enjoy life.
as much as I love the lfa! I would take this SL65 Black Series over lfa anytime 😍
コーナーでSL65が跳ねるのは何故ですか？アブソーバーの劣化なのか、それとも元々そういうセッテングなのか
SL65 is a pretty nuts car. not sure i'd buy one if i had that kind of money but i certainly respect it.
Fucking love this community 😩
Very nice Ted but the real pressing question is, will you be getting Wintracs on your new Honda? Just had mine remounted on my Subaru.
Yes! But my new car will arrive soon and I’m going to have to mount on that one
@@TedwardDrives Very good! I'm really impressed with the Wintracs. We'll need a snow video!
Was that the fenders rubbing , making the noises ? Also would you think the SL 65 is better handling/ driving than the W204 C63s?
No rub, but the carbon is fairly noisy when it flexes and the suspension is unforgiving
I think that was the walkie talkie you heard.
Why cover the mph dial
Not the five speed😮
🏎
just by counting the striped middle line I can tell that you are speeding ...
Me: Wow Tedward is such a good driver, saw that the truck wanted to take a left turn so he checked that traffic was clear and let the truck turn first before entering the gas station lot, despite having right of way!

haha that poor guy had to survive a gas station takeover so I was happy to let him out

Not strange for the car. I think I remember journalists complaining about the brake feel even when it was new on the launch.

Hahaha… I made some videos with blurred speedometer, too 😊
Literally living Forza Horizon in real life
That’s how I like my v12 biturbo to sound, none of that backfiring popping crap, this new generation wants everything to sound like a fart can smh, my s65 is music to my ears

👍👍👍
Dude had to blur the speed
that 992 is just peeeeachy

Thank You!
It's funny how little respect the Germans get from the Italians 😂
The Porsche is cheating. Without straight pipe it would soundwise have no chance against the AMG.
More SL65 BS content!!
Pretty pathetic sound inside (although I'm a big Mercedes fan respectively was until bad Schrempp trash happened).
Why rally ? 😞 is a gt ,in rally race this car is a coffin..
lol what are you talking about?
"Rally drive " is in the name of the video
Never see a mercedes sl in rally 🤣
@@diegocorradini7072 It's a road rally. It's not WRC. This is called a rally. Gumball 3000 is a rally.
@@TedwardDrives In italy dont call rally dhis race.Rally is rally .
Big fat car dont win in asphalt & dirt europen rally.
chevrolet and lexus are laughable compared to those german cars
