Sure the SLR weighs a lot less, and will peform better, but to most people hp is hp. and the $400k model should have more than the similar looking cheaper one.
ALthough I haven't seen pictures of them side to side, wouldn't the SL65 be more of a "luxury boat," whereas the SLR a hard-core exotic sports machine? However the fact remains that no matter what Mercedes does with the SLR and SL65AMG, we ALL know they will sell every last one of them w/ no problem whatsoever - not a dumb business decision IMO.
On a sidenote, has anyone heard for sure that the SL65 will be coming tot he US? I didn't think that information had been decided upon/released yet.
