Not good news today. Yes I did some sliding in the rain and the car is outright dangerous in the rain without ESP.

Bad news is the transmission has problems. Shifts from second to neutral. I think the K2 clutch or its controls are not working. I have no idea if it was like this when I got the original 1996 SL600 or not. It drives up and down the driveway fine as a 560SL and it did fine as and SL600. However I never had it out on the road as the SL600 so I don't know if the problem is preexisting.

The good news is the it does not yet get a limp home mode command.
