SLK55, Ford F350 Diesel, WV Jetta TDI
My .02 cents worth
I don't like the lines of the Conti GT so I would opt for the AMG version SL's any day - if I had that kind of green to spend :-)
Also - I was under the impression that the SL line started with the SL500! Is there actually an SL350? Maybe it's just not available in the USA. Personally, I'd rather have my SLK's than an SL350. In fact, we opted for the SLK55 over the SL500, which was one of our choices.

remember i got the 362hp n/a motor.
but i will for sure stay w/ a gt till 100

I drove a Bentley GT, and didnt like it at all. If you are looking for speed and a Gt car, the AMG line of Benzes is the way to go. However, if you are looking to cruise, the Rolls Phantom is the Ultimate. If that is a little too out there, a nice Mulliner edition Arnage will do just fine.

honestly, give Bentleys some respect. I understand that you drive a SL600, they are incredible but a Bentley does deserve some respect even though it might not keep up.
and if you want to get all happy on whos faster, ill take you on.

True, I may not be able to post a video on the net, but there are other things I can do... like... tie a shoelace.

I own and drive a 2006 E350 S, with AMG Package, Tuned by Brabus
Car enthusiast
[QUOTE=///CLKfiftyfive]you probably would
Guys, a real car enthusiast loves all cars with power! I drive a Benz but I love any car that has lots of power! I live in Germany and I promise you, it doesn't matter what you're driving, someone will pass you in the left lane! Just yesterday I was in the left lane running at 186mph when an Audi A8 (Had to been modified) pulled up behind me and flash his lights. I pulled over and he passed and disappeared very quickly. And all I could think was I love that car!
Don’t hate the Bentley! I admire anyone that spends that kind of money on a car! My neighbor just spent 300,000 EUROS to modify his CLS! He now has a 730hp V12 Bi-Turbo stuff into the engine bay of his 2006 CLS, and I love it! His wife has a modified Porsche that kicks-out 700hp, and I love that car. Over here in Germany, no one rules the Autobahn for long! Someone will pass you sooner or later!

Yea, I may still drive a Chevy at the end of the day...but at least I have more class than you and have more respect for all sports cars, fast or slow, and what they are capable of. You can go on with your narrow minded way fo classifying cars for price or luxury and performance in other categories, but I will move on knowing I respect ALL cars for what they are and only make judgements on the owners and not the drivers. Comparing apples to oranges gets you no where, but at my ripe old age of eighteen I think my mindset will someday get me much further than you have clearly come...

Ok then, if you don't respect a car that is "King of the Road" speed wise that will clobber your SL600 to be the "King of the Road" in the new sense of the word in speed and horsepower, then maybe you can "respect" the CLS55, E55, SL 55 or the brute G55, along wiht the white Flying Spur and DB9. But then again, I guess your SL 600 is the true king of them all.

"Guys, a real car enthusiast loves all cars with power!" (E350 S)
You are absolutely right. One cannot really compare the two cars, for they are different types of vehicles. 600 Twin Turbo is a tq monster, no argument there. It's also 500 lbs lighter, 2 seats, and a roadster. Bentley GT is a 5000 lb, 4 seat, ultra luxury car, which happens to top out at 198 mph. The Bentley GT is a well engineered and refined machine. The SL600 is refined as well, yet it's focus lies more with power, while the Bentley focuses more on presitge.
CLK55, don't call a guy you don't know a loser on the grounds that he's driving a Bentley.
Elbimmer, cmon man, take it easy.
Lexani, all I can say is LOL. You seem like the c0cky type who wants to race anything and prove anyone wrong. Just be careful, you never know when you might come across a 600 RennTech...which will own. You have my vote though.
Peace
