Good choice. I like the Cayman S a lot - it just looks great. But it is seriously under-powered. I don't like the SL500 at all - $120K for 300 hp? Not a good value. Now, the SL55 is a different bag of chips. Of all the cars you mention - even our beloved SLK55 - I would take a properly configured SL55.

Of the cars you compared, you absolutely made the right choice brother. Welcome to the club.

Now it's time to start modding!

Rubbing

20" wow. Congrats

And no rubbing issues?

I have 19's and experiencing some rubbing issues on front passenger side. Could be due to poor alignment.

I have 19" wheels as well and thought they were the limit. But from his pics, it looks like he has 20" alright. Pretty cool.

WoW...US$285K for SLK55 . With that amount of money, we can get 3 or more probably in US. Well, you must be doing really well, any other cars collection beside the SLK??
