Message Went out and test drove the SL63. It is a wonderful car. However, driving my Z home, I realized how much I love the Z. I felt a bit claustrophobic with the top up in the SL. The T-tops (with the shades off) in the Z make for a much more open feel.

The SL63 was quick - it feels quicker as well due to the kick-down of the automatic transmission. However, when I downshifted the Z, I realized that it also felt very quick - it wouldn't win a race with the SL, but plenty adequate for daily driving.

In summary, I liked the SL63 but not enough to drop the extra money on it. With tax, insurance delta and tags (which are based on the value of the car in AZ), it would have cost almost $100K to switch. Makes me appreciate the car that we all enjoy!
