@egalamay25 you could pick up an e55 AMG for under 30k theese days... you'd probably spend that much in upkeep over a 4 year period tho lol... but spend 2-3k on smaller supercharger pulley some bolt ons and a tune and that e55 will be raping vipers and zo6s on the highway........
@ jsloden you are wrong there sir, or you must be talking about the LT1 trans am.. The LS1 motors are damn near bullet proof.. If anything an auto tranny might need a rebuild by then.. That Benz is way more of a money pit on repairs.. And just like any other car the more it's abused the more probs will arise.. If LS motors were crap GM wouldn't be dropping them in so many new cars and trucks..
Funny how everyone here keeps thinking a stock SL500 is really fast...theyre not...the WS6 ran 0-60 a full second faster stock and the 1/4 was the same story if not even further of a gap...this isnt an AMG its a bone stock SL500 that seems to be an automatic on top of that people quit fooling yourselves. It may be a pretty car with a base price of 90k when it was brand new but its the slowest SL in the last 10 years. were talking acceleration ability not luxury.
ha there just mad because the ws6 is just all out better than half the cars out there. everyone has there own opinion. and its proven just type in ws6 an watch all the videos of it murdering the competition. its not the fastest car but its still sick
@ChevyridinhighHD ws6's are fast no doubt. They have the worst build quality of any car out there though. You show me a trans am that has done more than 150,000 miles that hasn't either had the engine replaced or rebuilt. They are crappy cars, and plus that sl500 is only rated at like 300 hp. Im sure the trans am was pushing way more than that because finding a stock trans am is like finding a needle in a haystack.
@jsloden I have a 97 Ws6 with 150k on it never has it leaked, smoked, broken down and its a daily driver,oh and im 20 so the was driven by a young kid and it never has shown signs of wear and a T/A is rated at 305 hp,mine is none modded so i guess im the needle and was just appraised at 12k for a 15yr old car that sl in 15 years will be worh 4k
I'd take the slowest Mercedes over the fastest P.O.S. Chevropontiuick any day of the week. In 15 years, when your Pontiac is rusted out on blocks in front of a double-wide in Georgia, that SL will still be a pristine classic.
ubicomp, you are obviously very intelligent! Some people take pride in their cars and take care of them, like me. When others have money, like my friend, and buy cars just to have fun in at the time, then get rid of when they are tired of them. And I would hardly call the SL 500 a classic.
strek0655...fuck u the ws6 ls1 is a beast and looks way more badass than any merGAYdes ever will they are so overated and all u see is old people driving them
I'm not kidding anyone. My buddy who owns it is 23 and he was trying (its just slower than the WS6). We have raced a few times from a dig and from a roll same outcome everytime.
@pepn3385 Yeah, but he was at the same time watchin tv and gettin his ass massaged. Thats what the sl500 is about. If he wants to race with an sl, should have bought 55amg or 600.
Nice. WS6 is a race car, but I would like to see it run an amg mercedes. That would be interesting. The sl 500 is a nice car, but it is only a 5.0l and only makes 300 hp at crank. The TA won and it should have.
I love how people don't think the WS6 is fast. Simple logic, put a 350 V8 in a small ass car.. it's going to haul ass.

Nothing loses better either. To go fast in a mercedes, you have to spend well over $50k. Whack!
