Mercedes under-rates the SL600

:yikes:

....i think the 1/4 time is wrong...

Standing 1/4-mile: 11.9 sec @ 120 mph

11.9 sec?..........


11.9 is is HELLA fast....

i think it runs somewhere around 12'ish..

I would never buy that car. Sure, it's one helluva car but not sporty enough for me. For the money, there are so many other cars I'd rather have.

I'd take the swank of an Aston over the SL, but still its a beautiful car, and fast as hell

The SL is the car I'd buy right now if I had the $$$.

Don't like the slushbox, but my wife does ...

the SL is not a sports car. slushbox is fine by me. beautiful car. i dont even know why it needs that much power.

SL is one of the most beautiful cars in the current market. I would buy it for my mom if I have the money.

Your mom needs a 500hp car?

I love the completely ironic, idiotic badging - SL stands for "Sports & Leicht".. Sports and Light. For a car that weighs twice that of a Mini-Cooper S, not far from a Cayenne S truck. The SL600 might be a fast boat, but it's still a boat.
