In the hands of an experienced driver the SL65 handles pretty well in all real world situations except for snow and ice.....it is not an ideal track car ala Porsche, but for everyday real world driving it is hard to beat for the price of under 70K for pre-owned cars with low miles.

Regular maintenance is also reasonable versus Ferrari and the car is much more comfortable for everyday than either Ferrari or Viper....not to mention the insurance being more affordable.......

The straight line acceleration is intoxicating and the ride very smooth.....fit and finish is tops........

 

My vote goes for the C63 or M5 depending on your size requirements. M5's can be found for well under $50k (even under $40k) and are a bit bigger so if space is important go with that.

But for pure driving fun, I'd go with the C63. We had one at the shop yesterday for a chip and intake, and I honestly didn't want to hand the keys back to the owner. It was an absolute BLAST to drive!

 

Well the lease on my uncles 997TT is up. He had the Tubi exhaust and the GIAC chip. He doesn't daily drive it. Under 70k, what would be a better replacement?

 

Just sold my C63, it's a great car.

 

Yes, I'm sure it is. But how does it compare to a Ferrari 360 or 355, Viper, SL65, Z06, 997 Turbo, etc?

 

Newer M5, 993TT Air Cooled.

 

Care to elaborate? You think he would be able to go from a modded 997TT to a 993?

 

993 is a timeless design as well as extremely rare compared to its two successors.

 

Hmm, not sure he'd go for that. I know he didn't want another Porsche because he just had one. I know he was looking at SL65's and some F360's. I recommended him a Viper. I would recommend a GT-R but I have a feeling it would be a little boring compare to his 997TT.

 

I'd sell you my Cobra for about 17k, it has a few go fast goodies!!!!

 

Haha, def not his style.

 

E55 AMG

 

Haha, why? When he can easily get a SL65 or CLK63. No 4 door cars.

 

Where can you get SL65 AMG for sub 20s?
