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.
I think he meant the SL500

Ooh? What does the SL500 have then? Not more than ultra-race cars like Impreza STI and Evo I presume. lol.

11.9? I would be surprised, but other mags have posted as low as 11.6, and a 0-60 of 3.6

that is easily supercar territory (acceleration wise)

I love how the car is virtually a sleeper compared to the sl500....little v12 badge and slight body enhancements.

I'd take it, but for that kind of money, i'd go used gt2 any day of the week.

I liked the looks of the SL when it came out. I like it less every time I see it, which is fairly often here in Scottsdale.

how can you guys say that the times on this car may be wrong??

heck the E55 is faster than a Murcielago from 60-140, and that is a fact


is that hard to believe too?
