My point was simply that you shouldn't make such broad assumptions. For all we know, he could be '02 Toyota Atlantic champion, signed onto the McLaren Formula 3000 team next year!

Forget the SL55 anyway that's too slow. The SL65 is the only one to have don't you know.

I think the pricing differential between a nicely loaded SL 500 and a SL 55 is probably the closest in the AMG line. A nicely loaded SL 500 will be in the $90K range while the AMG SL55 will be in the mid $110K's (about $115K-$118K). I guess that is in proportion given that you can get a nicely loaded E500 for mid $50K's but a E55 for $80K's. In proportion that is a bargain. OK, I'm really grasping at straws here, but the SL55 is still a bargain to me considering it will run fender to fender with a 911TT, Z06 (OK it's much more expensive but very different cars), and Ferrari 360.
