SC430 barge does nice smokey burnouts, ask the 6 S2k's i took up Yerba Buena/Sycamore canyon the other weekend.

engine very good, suspension confused.

i recommend the SL500(great drive, falls apart), and i never recommend a German car

ok folks

Leatherette FEELS like leather.. but it is VINYL!!

For anyone who would compare these two cars.. tell them to BUY THE SC430! KEEP sportscars in the hands of people who know what a sportscar is!!

The lexus is a bloated old man's cruising car with lots of HP & Body Roll.. it will probably never break, and you get coffee when you bring it in for service.. but

DON'T EVER COMPARE IT TO AN S2K

geez.. even the comparison to the CLK43 is an insult that merc is an animal.. even if it has no Manual..


DO NOT DILUTE THE GENE POOL!

The original poster was only comparing the straight line acceration between the 2 cars. When it comes to straight line acceleration, you can compare a F-16 to a Geo Metro.

if you want off the line acceleration, go buy a mustange cobra for $33k. It will smoke the doors off the s2k off the line, but lose miserably in the twisties, and probably have parts falling off of it 6 months down the road. A comparison of a pure sports car's 0-60 time to a luxo-barge's serves what purpose? none, IMHO...
