The two-Benz garage pic

I will work on a more scenic backdrop (though you can _almost_ see the C6Z behind the SL65...) The two cars look really nice side-by-side in person.




A _large_ version of the above picture is at http://www.treynor.com/2benz-big.jpg

Nice! How are you liking the new Z06? Have you taken it to the 1/4 track yet?

The new Z is a great car -- it does everything from commuting to racing well, and is pleasant to drive. If only everything GM built were this good!

I haven't had it to the 1/4 mile; I'm more likely to take it autocrossing or out to a roadcourse.

what's the rationale of buying an old style benz when the new one is out there already? u see, when people look at ur s65, it's a previous model, don't u think it's better off to buy the current s600 or wait until the amg version is available?

The new-style xx63 or xx65 won't be out for some time yet. You can be sure that when they do come out, one will find its way to my garage.
