SL63 Renntech vs SLR Roadster
2013 SL63-$60k, Renntech ECU+ Tune-$3k 669 hp 734 lb/ft, 4,068 lbs, .31 drag coefficient.
2008 SLR Roadster~$350k, 626 hp 545 lb/ft, 3850 lbs, .38.
R231 couldnt be as rigid as the SLR, but was a remarkable inprovement over the R230.
Isn’t this a good argument for the SLR experience for less than a 1/5th of the price?
missing: supercharger, side pipes, butterfly doors, McLaren, carbon fiber, exclusivity.

Depend on what you want. Decide for yourself and go for it. Both are beautiful cars with excellent performance.

The person buying the SLR already has a SL or has multiple other cars. He/She couldn't care less about the information about performance:$ ratio.

I can't get myself to like the look of the SLR. The design is somewhat out of proportion and I feel the car has not managed to age gracefully....

The SLR is one of my fav cars of all time...............will they bring one back again?
I'm ready for something new...feminine, sexy, gracefull, like a teenager who looks at a body to die for and just wants to get in there and put your hands all over it

Pricey but stable, a SLR roadster could be a nice addition...
