[SL600/ SL55] Which engine is more comfortable?

Did people actually owned both cars at one time; or just driven both?
Which car drives more comfortable?

I would have to think the 600 is more comfortable because the AMG line is supposed to be more agressive, have a rougher ride, and a snappy engine, so I think it is easy to say that the 600 is superior in comfort to the 55.

I've driven both! Never owned either. Performance wise.......the SL55 moved out very nice and you could really feel the power. Now, the SL600.....that started to scare me. The 600 just kept on pulling all the way to 100mph +! At about 80mph, it felt like it was pulling away from a traffic light! I was very impressed and......I own a Z06 Vette! Handling was very similar with either car. Both cars have an adjustable suspension and also, sport suspension buttons. You can firm up the ride for better cornering in both cars.

I'm presently looking for an SL600 as we speak! In addition, if you want to modify the car at all by getting the computer reflashed.......you get much more power out of the V12 than the V8!

Owned one, driven the other...
SL600 is smoother (more "comfortable").
SL55 is way more fun.
