I fyou are a member over there send him a Private Message. He responded to me fairly quickly.

Said it is tight with a helmet and he is trying to get his hands on the Euro seats for more room.

It is his daily driver.

SLS is a neat car but there is a lot of competition at 200k. And yes I think a like new but used Ferrari or Lambo is competition. I probably would rather own a F430, sl65 or 911 Turbo all of which I own. It not really a sports car and not a roadster. I think over time (about 15 minutes) the gull wing doors would be a PITA. I can own the car no sweat but probably won't. A 200K car is an emotional decision. The SLS is neat but not much to be passionate about. I agree with Sound 8 I think over time they sit like the SL65 black does.

I just enjoy that you also have a 1993 Corolla in your sig. That would be a garage picture that I would love to see.

Do you own all of these cars or you would rather own all of them than just one SLS, LOL

My point was that I was not guessing what any of these cars are like.

SLS just won the Gold award for design, it has dominated the GT class thus far. It crushes the F430, it is faster than the black, it is much more distinct than the P car
