Who Wouln't

Gee who wouldn't like this in the driveway!

Was going to get one of the SL500's but for the cost of the SL500, I could buy almost two SC430's!

Love to have one, but SC still has what that does only no 3 pointed star and the maintenance headaches I hear from owners.

Oh yea, today while on I-84, saw a Red ENZO going the opposite way.... Damn, if wife wasn't in the car, I'd be looking for one of the trooper u-turn areas and go and see it closer... First one I've seen on the road!

Regards,
Deanski

SL600

You should see a SL600 under the hood! Damn if that isn't one sick car!

One in Greenwich dealer when I was looking at the SL500. They HAD to show me that one now didn't they?

Neck snapping torque on that thing!

Well, Powerball is up there..

Wow, its funny this topic came up.

I do one car a year for pay, a black SL500. I detailed last in July.This weekend I saw the owner and he wants me to do it again.

He said he has a SL600 on order for April, wow!! hope I can do that one too!

The New 600's Are Beasts!
With The New 12 Cylinder Motor , It Really Closes The Performance Gap The 55 Had Before. I Havent Gotten To Drive A New 600 Yet, But Im Sure Its Unreal. When I Went To The Mercedes AMG Challenge, I Wished They Had A 600 There For Me To Compare The 55's Too, That Would Have Been Sweet!

Car!

If I was going to buy any Mercedes though, I'd get that AMG E55. Nothing like a sedan with 469 hp that runs 12.39 @ 116mph!

Netpower on the SL55 is 493 hp @ 6,100 rpm verus E55 which is 469 hp @ 6,100 rpm.

Net Torque on the SL55 is 516 lb-ft @ 2,750 - 4,000 rpm versus E55 which is 516 lb-ft. @ 2,650 - 4,500 rpm.
