So with all that technical info about both cars, and the performance figures posted in the opening thread, you base it all on looks?
If the Corvette sucks bricks, then that logically also means that every AMG vehicle, and also a host of other European semi-supercars even more so suck brick.
In this comparison, the Vette is one amazing car, completely makes the SL65 redudant in terms of performance..but if I had to choose one for myself, I'd go for the SL65 because in my opinion its performance is more than adequate to have a great experience, and the extra sophistication of the interior and techno-gadgets surpass the Corvette's. If price wasn't an issue, SL65..... but if it was, then it'd be the Vette in a heart beat! Heck, if Clarkson loves the car, then it has to be one heck of a car!
