Id really like to pick up a LP750 or LP670 SV but those prices are probably going to go even more insane.

I'm sorry to say the more I see the new SL the more it reminds me of a Chrysler crossfire convertible.

It’s a Frankenstein of a 911 and MB … it’s a mess and doesn’t work. If I were Porsche I’d sue them as from the A pillar back, it’s a 911 cab.

Would love your thoughts about size & agility compared to M8 coupe & R231 if you drive.

I will ...

from reviewers Ive watched and take face value from, I hear the RWS is excessive and the overall car has a "slowness" to it that others do not in the segment.

While we all probably dont need 617 bhp we sure use a decent amount of that in the usable rpm ranges and I do think the M178/177 engine is voracious (Ive had many) but with this hefty fatso it might not be relevant ... enough.

My R129s were fun. R230 & R231 fun enough. Happier than expected with Z4 & $$$$ left over but curious and waiting to drive new GT so very interested in your thoughts.
