Now like i said i owned a 600sl and people went home with a neck ache. I didnt buy it so people can turn their head but found out soon enough they did. I never had so much attention from chicks whn driving that car. Those chicks dont look at porche's since they see 10 a day.
Now talking about class. To me a porsche has no class. They are nice cars, expensive but no class. A 600sl IS class.

you keep saying this, and it keeps making me giggle.
for those interested in sports cars, the 911 simply blows away the MB. if you're interested in luxury and image, than by all means, go with an SL. i looked seriously at a SL500 (among others) before buying my Porsche... and i simply couldn't consider it seriously after i drove it. reminds of an old boy's car. handles like a tractor compared to my 911 C4S (and weighs almost as much lol). no manual transmission. did i say heavy? has plenty of gadgets though - did i mention the manual for the car is over 750 pages long lol? if that's your thing, great. it's just not mine.
anyway, they are very,
very different cars. The only competitors the SL has are... other retractable hard top convertible luxury grand tourers. namely: the Lexus SC430 and the Cadilac XLR -which it beats hands down imho.
The 911's competition is more along the lines of the Corvette, M3, 360 and Acura NSX.
