WhIcH Sl LoOks BeTTeR ? ? ?
Which sl looks better the old sl or the new sl. The old sl one has 702hp and the new one has 602hp. The new one is an sl65 AMG, the old one is a v12 with a 7.2l engine. So please tell me which one u guys like more.

The first car pictured has me wondering. Where is it from?
The white sedan behind it is a modified Holden Commodore, perhaps an HSV. Not sold in too many other places other tha Australia....

Now THAT is a nice R129 7.4...not that yellow abomination. And it has a 7.4L.
EDIT: No affiliation, just looks pretty.

I'll take the 230. I don't like yellow, but if those were the only two choices.
The 129 looks aweful. Looks like one of those replica kits you can buy from the back of Popular Science :P

The second one looks like a NEW Tijuana Taxi Cab. I'll bet $50 though that the yellow one is in Florida. Only a Ghetto-fab rapper in Florida would do that to a car.
Just goes to prove: no matter how much money you have, you still can't buy class.
But what do I know?

Soon they'll be modding the C-Class to look like a Camry.

The only issue with SL65 is really a matter of color preference because it is still a beautifull car. I don't like the color of of it. That w129, on the other hand, could be the ugliest I've seen. Ugly body kit, ugly wheels and ugly color. It looks like it was stolen from the set of Miami Vice.

You should have said it was a Koenig car. Koenig is one serious European tuner...they are the guys who offer Twin Turbo kits for numerous exotics.
F50 TT
512 Testarossa TT
Diablo TT
850 CSi SC
(Just a few examples)
One thing though, you said the car makes 702 hp while Koenig estimates around 580 hp. Is there maybe a turbo kit hidden in that aready stuffed engine bay...

What does performance have to do with looks?? The SL65 doesn't look fantastic, I'd take it and try to sell it. The SL600 looks horrible!!!
And don't come on the forum talking like that, it will get you put in time out!

just to clarify again and keep the rep up with teh R129-
the SL73AMG just has an R129 AMG body kit and was made from 98-01 (i think)-
and it is not that "yellow thing"
