Yeah man,C2S all the way.. You already own a SLK AMG,so all in all,you would know about merc quality and about the SL 500,right?

I'd say hands down,C2S,and you would love it from the word go.

I replied to your topic at MB World, you need a 997 if you want a bigger sportscar.

You need to have compromises my friend, If your going for an SL it's like a bigger SLK but with more comfortable seat's.

997 Targa 4S, Still can open the top but with the safety of a coupe

SL500 is not a sports car, it is a "sporty type" car that tips the scale at over 2 tons.

+1, 911 is a sports car, SL is a coupe. This topic been beaten to death, SLs, AM, M6 all are just GTs.

Before i bought my 997s, i was contemplating to choose between the SLK55 and 997s. After test drove both cars, there is no way i would choose the benz over Porsche. SL500 is out of questions, that car is slow and handles like crap.
