Its a beast, 2 of my friends in Miami have them. However you dont want an SL65 and an E55 do you?
The SL65 handles like a pig it is very heavy in the front end...selling the RUF you need the likes of a 430 coupe or 360CS...if lux + conv is your game get the SL65 or maybe save the $ and get an SL600 my friend with one of the 65's sold his SL600 for 95k and got the SL65, was it worth the $ IMHO not...As well Shank has his SL600 for sale also
Whatever you do in the league your are talking about I dont think there are any "bad" cars.

I've got a 65, for a fast cruiser it's a blast 
not many cars will stick with you on a straight line. on turns it's another story, handling isn't as bad to me Marc, but nothing compares to the Noble on corners(but that's a for fun car). nice drivers car is the Porsche

yeah it really is, you can drive the crap out of it w/o worrying about replacing expensive parts. most of the car's parts are relatively inexpensive and it goes and handles like most top exotic cars!

i have the 65 and havent missed my gt700 tt for a day....i agree that the sl doesnt handle or corner NEARLY as tight as the tt however i never took the porsche to the track. I just cant stop driving my sl...it pulls hard on a STOCK TT and the drop top hard top is unbeatable.....i almost bought the 55 but happy i did the 65....its so much more comfy and user friendly and since the street is my track fits what i need out of a car for my fun in the sun......still got my porsche turbo though for the rainy/snowy days albeit a cayenne LOL.....hope this helps....by the way reus does a great upgrade for the radio that rocks!!!

Also traded my 55 for the 65. You will feel like the king of the hill with the 65. I guess that it more than satisfy my need for speed, and I have no desire to take it on a course to test the cornering. All I really care about is the straight line dominance! You won't regret it unless you are into course racing.
