2005 Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG walk around, customized by FisherFAST! 588 horsepower and 672 torque

This 2005 Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG has driven only 29,500 miles and has been customized by FisherFAST.
This vehicle would be considered a Stage One Plus as it is mildly modified. The modifications consist of methodical power upgrades along with subtle but aggressive cosmetic upgrades. A HUGE maintenance/service has just been completed on the vehicle bringing it back to like new for years of trouble free driving (please see complete list at 1:44 - 2:02 in video).
On the dyno, this SL made 490 horsepower and 560 lb/ft of torque at the rear wheels. After calculating for drivetrain and accessory power loss at 20%, the power numbers are estimated at 588 horsepower and 672 torque at the engine.
Thanks for watching!

An awesome treat watching your video, as always. I very much appreciate the quality work and creativity you put into your builds. It's great getting this kind of inspiration and knowledge that I can use on my own SL55. Thanks so much Brian!

Fantastic work Brian, you are a perfectionist when it comes to cars which I like to see. The subtle mods are amazing, I’d love to give you my 2003 SL55 to overhaul it and freshen it up with some of your mods especially the carbon fibre trim inside which I’ve seen on other SL’s that you’ve done, the wheels also really change the look of the vehicle...only problem is I’m in Australia! Keep the videos coming, really enjoyable. Thanks.

HI there, very nice car, you really are improving what is a great car already, love the subtle touches that you add to the car, the engine bay looks fantastic and so do the brakes. I have watched most of your videos and I’m thinking of buying an SL Sport Edition once I sell my 2005 Boxster S as I want the AMG look and may take inspiration from you. How hard are the two black trims each side of the rear window as like you say they do age badly.

@ash44roberts 3 жыл бұрын

Wonderful job and great presentation! - I have a 2005 SL55, brilliant silver with the performance pack (owned it from new), so I got a big kick out of watching this! Just need to sort out those retractable roof flaps on the rear shelf (always an issue on the older cars) and it'll be perfect...

@FisherFAST 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the great comments Ashley! What a treat it must be to have bought this car brand new and still have it to this day. That says a lot about your ownership experience. You are 100% right about the flaps. I always change the flaps with the updated thicker steel flanges and rear boot to window rubber seal when I get these as they're always bad 👍

OUTSTANDING, Brian nobody puts the kind of Love and Passion into an SL like you do❤ , I did notice that you didn't do the carbon fiber mirror caps and the stereo mods, any reason why?

@FisherFAST 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much Jeffrey, really means a lot to hear that! This SL is mildly modified in comparison with my past few SL's. It combines all of the maintenance and a little bit of the performance/aesthetic flair from the fully built cars. I'm wanting it to be a stepping stone in the market for someone that may not be ready to commit to a full build but still wants something unique and customized. I'm reserving some of the more costly mods (both performance and cosmetic) for the fully built or higher staged vehicles.

Very nice work I totally appreciate the attention to detail. I have a 2009 SL63 And was wondering if you have done something similar to this in one of those? Also where can I get a black hood emblem for my car. It seems that every where I look they have the more modern type that has a button mounting bracket that you push out of the hood, mine just has the two clips that push into the hood with rubber/plastic grommet.

Hi Brian. I have a 2005 SL55 in Alabaster White. I really like the modification that you have done to the headlights. Is this something you would be able to do for my car? If so, what would be the process and cost? Would you need me to send my headlights to you first or would you just use mine as a core replacement? Thanks, Mike

I’m watching these videos trying to get a passion for these benz but I can’t. I sold my e92 m3 for my 2003 sl55 and it’s the worst mistake I’ve ever made. I am putting it for sale soon as I get back and can’t wait to get back into a m car. These cars drive like Cadillacs with a motor…… 0 driving ability whatsover
