For your 2nd car had you rather have this Viper or this SL500
 

I love both for different reasons. Rules: Please ignore the price gap and the car color as I would probably pick different colored exterior and interior. Since this would be a 2nd car the Benz being better for winter doesn't apply.

Please Notoldschool stay the fuck away from my threads. Simonsinister you too.

SL... drove a Viper I did a show install on and it was way to nutty for normal street...

I've bought SL600 Brabus to my wife. Great car, I like it. Not sure that Viper can be as comfortable as Mercedes! +1 to SL

My first car would have been the SL so the Viper would have definitely came at some point..

SL is more convertible for every day use but if you really want to speed then go with Viper. I love both cars.

fuck, 40k for a benz like that is nothing. Thats 26k euros here. That same car would be twice as expensive here.

This is more of what you personally like better, for me I would go with the Viper.

Those Benz's are weird. They depreciate ULTRA fast here the first 3 years and then they level off. I think that Benz would cost close to 100k here new. It is definitely a sweet spot to buy at if you don't mind used.

I don't drive fast, but I think the Viper is a little flashier. The Benz is more comfortable and I guess classier. I don't really associate money and class so I say "I guess".

I don't like vipers.

03 SL wasnt that the first in the new design?
lots of kinks had to be worked out in that year 40k miles isnt too bad

I'd take the Viper.

Neither.

I'd rather have the new viper though :-

:thumbsup !

That looks like the same car to me with a lame paint job. Is the body the exact same shape?

a smart car would be my choice

I'd go with the Benz. I worked warranty claims for a dealership (specializing in Vipers) straight out of the military, and I'd never buy one of those. That was years ago, so they might be better now, but everyone that sold came back, and that was when people were on a 3 year waiting list for one.

i would take the SL500

Viper. Raw power!

The sencible, inteligent choice is the the SL500 which is a very nice car and will keep more of it's value.

But why would do the sencible thing, when you can ride in a car that will make you feel that you could die in an instance!

Viper. I like speed rushes with the top down. Sorta like how I like my sex.

Viper... What is the point of having 2 sensible cars haha! Get one that will just pin you in your seat and leave you wanting for more.

I've always liked Vipers

The Viper.

The SL for sure.

:)

I don't like Vipers or I'd go for the MB.

ive never been a fan of american cars.

I'd take the SL myself

SL > viper, enough said

that is a great price for that benz. i would say it is cheap as hell. here in europe you going to pay near 40k euro to get that one.

a Viper is for older kids.. a SL is a real ride. Dont get the latest model, it looks like crap. Get a used one from 2005 or so. The SL55 AMG isnt that much more expensive but has a lot of more power and looks a way better.
If you really going for the big bang you should get an >>SL65<<

SL 65 + MAE Crown Jule rims and your pimpin :)

http://images.ecarlist.com/photos/995_105199/640/00.jpg rocks :)

SL but i'd change those fugly rims....

Benz, I don't like anything Dodge and Viper is ugly.

I would go with the Viper

the SL can drive more miles without problems and has more safety.
but a Viper I almost bought a few years ago but once you drove a nice Benz it's hard ever to buy another brand.
