I agree, but is the current SL any less bloated than the previous 8 series??? (Obviously the 911 isn't) In the SL's segment, being bloated is almost part of the equation. I think theres a HUGE thrill being able to move a 2+ ton barge to 60 in ~5 seconds, but yet it has to maintain some level of dynamic handling, which (I'm sure) the SL does.
