I agree,
The Jag is really a pretty car, but the SL is built so much better. My neighbor has a real nice red one, but no hard top, and when the soft top goes down it looks sloppy, it seems to me a lot smaller inside too, I also heard that the wood in them is plastic veneer now, but I am not too sure about that. My SL320 will blow his Jag, we went to an autocross and it kept up pretty well, but from a stop the Merc just took off like mad when I floored it. (I had never done this before and it was soooo much Fun!! Put a smile on my face!) I kind of felt bad for him since my used SL was only 18k and he paid a lot more for his. I had my share of losses though, the SL500 and 600 would cook my lunch easily, I only got my car up to 130 that day, but I understand it will go 150, the 500 and 600 will go 155, but they have more horsepower, all are electronically limited. Get the Merc! And you can be part of the Club! Happy Benzing!
