Default Just give me one of these

For a do all car that can be driven all year, this is the one for me. I was driving beside a Renntech V-12 600sl today and fell in love.

Just a beautiful machine.

the fastest I have ever driven in my life was in that car with the top down..... 151 mph.


I got out of the car and my legs were shaking

Do all? All year? I doubt it would be any good in the snow or when its raining for a month straight. Likewise, I doubt you could fit much in the trunk.
Looks nice as a piece of eye candy nonetheless

That's awesome, I saw one of these today.

We had a rare nice day here in the land of wet and everyone who could remove their roof, did.

The first thing I think of a RWD convertable with 700 lbs torque is driving in snow...

The OP said "do all/all year"...no way I say. Good summer car, but it would be parked in my garage 70% of the year.

Of course not, but the intended buyers have other vehicles for bad weather, etc. Yes eye candy and fun to drive.
