My new(used) SL65

Recently acquired this 2005 SL65 with just under 30K miles. It came with the RENNtech tune, intercooler, LSD, as well as hardwired Passport 9500. This car is a lot more comfy than my 996TT. Muffler delete has been done for a more throaty sound. Next up are some wheels.

Got her for 37K, which I think was an excellent deal.

Curious about how it handles. Is it really front-heavy like a lot of SL's [my old one included] or is it fairly balanced?

I came from a 911 Turbo. That said, if you have to ask, the SL handles lot crap. There's way too much torque and power for me to even dare test its handling limits.
