Which one?? =996 Twin Turbo (X50) or SL55 AMG?????
Ok people,
I was just thinking about this and it made me wonder which would I pick??
The Awesome Sports Car or the Godzilla of Grand Tourers???
They both have exceptional numbers in every category, about he same top speeds, but still they live in two separate worlds.
Which would you
???

from C&D:
The standard SL500 we tested last April was certainly no wraith. When the readouts on the C/D scales finally settled, the tally for that one stood at a resounding 4172 pounds. That's SUV territory, but even so, the AMG version is heftier: 4411 pounds. What's the deal? Weight is the enemy.

I think it depends on what your goals are, certainly both cars are fanstastic, both in performance and price.
I would probably take the Mercedes if I had another 911 (GT3 anyone?) to beat around on, it is the better highway and traffic cruiser, being an automatic and all, not to mention the incredibly loud noise level of the turbo because of the tires. Very irratating on journeys longer than say 100 miles.
Regardless, if you are in the market for a TT 911, do not buy the X50 package. Similar if not better gains can be had for around 6 grand after the purchase and you can still retain your factory warranty.
