You did however forget to mention the all powerful SL73 AMG (7.3L V12) made in 95', then 98' to 01', but you probably don't see many of those in Texas..since they are all down here in Florida lol..well, then there is the sought after SL60 too but they just did'nt make very many of those as it had just a 2 year production run (approx. 5 seconds 0-60, over 400 hp, top speed of close to 190 mph, extremely good handling) and this was way back in 96'-98' with a V8 engine!

| What do you think of the restyle on the SL? I was looking at one in the showroom last week (not to buy - I was checking out an R class - need lots of seats) - I think they've made a pigs ear of it. The thing about SLs is, they have a touch of elegance, even the AMG models are elegant AND brutish at the same time. But the new model....nope!

| I totally agree...I think the older SL series in the 129 body style was the best ever made imo, pure luxury & LOTS of smooth power! The best engines ever made to my knowledge were the 32 valve 5.0L V8's (4 valves per cylinder) with the variable valve timing
As far as the "new" & "newer" SL series goes...well, blah.

I'm saving up for a S500 '08-'09 AMG ..
