It's good to be King.

Is it wrong that I think this looks amazing but think the S-Class looks bland?

This is going up against the Continental GT. I suspect it will succeed.

I "raced" an SL65 the other day.

It didn't end well for me.

Where is the manual again? Zr1 has a manual. And it's insane

picking gears yourself is a peasant activity

Do you really want a Mercedes-Benz manual? Lets be serious. Its like asking for a manual Bentley. Lets leave proper gear boxes to companies who know how to use them. Additionally, kings don't row their own gears. They have servants for that.

I think it would enhance the experience. Of course I am thinking of a GT trip across the country and most people buying this car probably use it to shop for Tiffany or drive to the law office.

Mercedes-Benz tried manuals in the previous gen SLK. It was not pretty.

Has a 7spd MCT, I think the older one might have had a 6spd. And there goes a dream that I knew was never going to happen anyway.

again, show me one Mercedes-Benz product that had an exceptional manual gearbox. Short of the racers from the 50s, MB simply doesn't do a proper manual. That being said, they equip their cars with sublime automatics which totally suit the characters of their cars.

That's not what the dream was. The dream was that I'd leave somewhere in a massive cloud of tire smoke from a really sweet and awesome burnout.

I'm 16 I dream of doing crazy things in cars with 6.3 supercharged V8's.

Maybe one day I'll end up with a 2014 Z/28 or a Hellcat and do something cool like that.

I know you know you want to order one. Put off everything else financially. Trade in 328.
