I just can't get over the fact that the SLR will be around two-three times more expensive than what the SL65 AMG will be of course you don't get the world's heaviest carbonfiber body, the on-off carbon brakes, the stiff ride, the "fraction" of a second straight-line accerealtion gains, and the 5-speed slush box... oh, wait you do get that last one though



Well, you'd expect to have to pay a premium for all these benefits.

I'd never thooght I'd say this but the SL65 looks like an incredible "bang for the buck" car compared to the SLR and its much better looking too, and cabrio also. And with the money you save you can get yourself a Ferrari or Porsche for the weekend and a Radical SR3 Turbo for the track.



Just think, Carlos, how likely is that an SLR buyer would appreciate a Ferrari or Porsche?
And, as for a Radical Turbo, well that would just be too .....radical, for the want of a better word.
