Well unless they're going to turbocharge it to at least 560hp and more torque than the SC 5.5L V8 I agree. In naturally aspirated form a SL63 would be slower than the SL55 I think. I think the 5.5L V8 was kept in response to customer wishes worldwide. This is afterall the engine that put AMG and incidently the SL55 on the map in the hp race.
