Thumbs up SL55 vs Z8 at the Nurburgring and Hockenheim!!

The SL55 did pretty well.

Even if the SL55 was slower I think it's still my car of choice. It simply looks better. Each to his own, I think the Z8 is NOT good looking at all...

The SL55 seems to win just because it has a stronger powerplant. In the corners, the BMW's faster.

If you look at the G loads you will see that SL did better in most of the corners, the BMW did better in only 3. This would suguest that the SL has better handling.

The SL55 looks better, and the interior is 10 times nicer. The SL55 is priced at $175,000CDN, and the Z8 is $200,000. The SL55 has the awesome folding steel top.

Guess it just wins on all accounts!
