The same goes in aviation: The venerable T-34B for instance. With only 225hp,

to do was point the nose….no finesse required.

In regards to which SL is the best, obviously condition is the number
one thing, better a good 380 than a thrashed and neglected 560.
The pick of the litter is the 500SL, no enviro crap and faster than the
