I'm a reformed C5 Corvette owner. This came from the C5 Registry.
HOPE I DID THIS RIGHT.

Nice write up but lets be realistic, some of those 500 hp supercharged Mercedes roadsters are rocket ships.

They would put a can of wupass on our beloved S2000 without even working up a sweat.

Show me one. MB doesn't make a 500hp Roadster. Perhaps with a Brabus upgrade but not stock.

This ain't your dads MB.

2003 MB SL AMD
5.4 L 493 HP SUPERCHARGED
516 LB TORQUE

Price......If you have to ask, dont bother.

Performance compared to S2000? All I can say is that if you see one comming up on you, get out of the way!

That's AMG.

I drove an 2004 E55 AMG the other day, and it is a monster - dead even with my modified 2003 SVT Cobra in acceleration. The electrically driven 6 piston brakes take a while to get used to, but this is a serious, beautful piece of automotive art.

Get out of the way and hang on to your hat might be better advice - these big sedans create quite a wash as they scream by you.

MB has announced that the 600+ HP 12 cylinder is coming in one of the coupes, and the SLR has also been introduced.

This is the best HP war ever! Better than 1969-1970!

You straight-line monkies are way too simple-minded, but here we go:

The S2000 out-accelerates the Z4 3.0 manual version.

In the world of roadsters that compete against the S2000, the Boxster S is the closest thing to give the S2000 a run for its money.

In terms of feel and rawness, the S2000 takes the cake over all.

Thanks for sharing,
