Funny how SL stands for "Sports Licht" doesn't it. Although much lighter than a standard SL I don't know why anybody would want this as an enthusiast car.

I honestly would be very surprised if the SL65 BS could get under 8:00 on the Nurburgring.

A major problem with the SL65BS is the exhaust note also. It sounds SO DULL! The UPS truck has a better sound than that car.
Do yourself a favor and save about $50K and get a LP560-4. It's just as fast in the straight line, will kill it on the road coarse and sounds light years ahead of just about anything.

Don´t you see, its a matter of exclusivity. Nothing like the SL Black in that case.

Those who buy the black don´t give a hoot about a house that is only $300 thousand. Plus, now a days, houses lose value faster than a ZR1 1 to 60. haha!
