Which Looks Meaner? Mercedes SL65 Black Series or Corvette Z06

The Vette looks meaner, but I'd get out of the way of both of them!

2012 E350 Coupe Sport Package
As a member of both the Corvette Forum & MBWorld ( Z06 & E350 Coupe) the Z looks meaner, but Id rather have the SL65, who wouldn't, you could almost buy 2- Z07's,
having said that, dollar for dollar performance value, you can't beat the Vette.

You could by 2 or three Z06's for the price of a low mileage used SL65 Black.

I think the lights and the bumper on the Vette makes it look meaner.

The vette looks meaner from the front, but every other angle (used google) the SL wins easily.
