So… after a long and mature consideration, I return to MB and signed today a purchase contract for a SL55 AMG in Obsidianblack. Now my Nick fits again. Is a used (from 1st hand, MB stitch-book maintained, in absolute original condition) with 60tkm on the clock from year 6/2002 (so already with the 500 HP certified machine). I will pick up next week Thursday at our MB branch. After a short probation time the SL55 should then the Tu rbo and the boxster in my racing stable. Had thought about taking a 996 Turbo convertible… but no… find the SL somehow nicer. And the magic of the number “500 hp” can hardly be seriously eluded either. Besides, the 55s sounds really grippy (compared to the Porsche series exhaust). Well… wanted to announce that I will soon be a little more active in the Mercedes forum and not so much in the Porsche Forum anymore… *schnueff*
