Walter, no harm intended in either mine or Rossi's post

we're just having a little fun

everyone acknowledges that the 65s are MONSTERs

some of us just have some stigmas about uber-benzes that are very difficult to get over,

i have driven the SL600, which is similar, but not quite, and it is a very capable and as you mentioned Effortless car.

for more hardcore/visceral driving expreiences, theres always stradales, and GT3s.

however, the car should be judged as what it is, one of the most competant GTs in the world, and not a 'racecar/sports car/etc'.

that way, we can see this car in the arena it was intended, and in that area, it shines.


all in good humour,

Tom
