well i agree with all of the places you have said where you can use that 600+Hp engine, but what about a quiet country road or an empty motorway at night? The feeling of embarassing an Aston or a ferrari, sometimes the feel of having such a powerful car is better than going fast, at least YOU know what you are capapble of!

don't ruin my fun with the armageddon theory, I am only 18, haven't got a car yet, and Mercedes is fav manufacturer!

That someone said...NO CHANGE IN THE SL COMMAND SYSTEM FOR THIS MODEL YEAR!!!--Straight from the horses mouth!!
By the way, the SL600 will be introduced in the US as a 2004 model, sometime around July...

sl and M-class E320 4Matic SLK350
And as a 2004 model will it have Nav II?

Did the guy from Mercedes ask his source in New Jersey if the Nav II will AT LEAST be available in all 2004 SL's?

Is there really going to be a SL with a 12 pack with bi-turbos producing 600+ hp, and if so what will be its model number and when will it be shown?
