I don't care for the changes to the newest SL from the previous version, but this is an absolutely great job. I was going to wish for $320K to get in line for one, but then I read Johnny's post and he talked me out of it....

Are you insane!?!? The car is beautiful as is. Lower and aftermarket wheels on a car like this that's a in my book.

Looks awesome, I'll reserve judgemnt until price comes out. Car companies should be able to price that under $100K I think, everything above that is pure profit.


Are you kidding me?

Beyond the fact that the benz uses a traditional auto with torque converter (lost power, etc)....

From Wikipedia:


Why wouldnt a car like that come with something more performance oriented?
Especially at the price it's at.
No, i ment by how you said they should get the times down to the single digits or double digits. The shift time is .250 ms you said. I think you ment to say they should get the shift times below maybe .1, because .250 is effectively a double digit and there are single digits higher; like .3 or .4 for example. Sorry i didnt mean to call you out like that.
