New location is much better in my opinion as well. The old one was in Peabody. From my understanding it will be at Bentley Boston now. Nice people over there.

Car looks great, congrats! Looking forward to seeing the pics with the wing installed!

It's just missing the stick on speed holes on the front fenders!

I guess this depends on what the car sold for. I remember my father purchased a bmw at the time the z8 had just been released, and according to the dealers, collectors were paying almost twice sticker price for them (yes, $250k!). I don't know how many of them actually sold for that much, but it sounded like a lot of them sold for a lot higher than $125k. Haha I remember the first one I saw on the road was outside armani cafe on newbury street in boston. I made sure to sit outside so I could hear what it sounded like as the owner drove it away. The owner walked up to the car, was probably about 24 years old (a lot younger than I would have expected due to the target market of this car), and revved once or twice, and as a crowd gathered around the car he grinded the gears twice trying to pull out. Ha, was pretty entertaining, but the engine/exhaust sounded great. Very unique looking car though. Cerainly has its differences in terms of resale, and the attention it draws!

Saw one of them at the Dub auto show a year or two ago when it came to boston. Looked just as bad in person, if not worse. I'd 100x rather have a stock sl600!

I'm not a fan of the exterior from the photos, but I think the new interior design is very nice! I bet this car will look a lot better in person though, I didn't like the current model s class in its first photos, but really liked it when I saw it in person. Isn't it horrible when you see a luxury car nowadays and you think it looks like a hyundai?!?

Right down the street from me! Nice looking car. I'll have to check it out soon.

Call me crazy, but I think it looks sick! Of course it doesn't have the performance of an SLR, but if you want a more aggressive looking sl than the amg and brabus kits etc, this thing is rare and very aggressive looking. At least it isn't based on some crappy kit car like a fiero or solstice!

I think it depends on what you want the car for. I've always been a huge viper fan, and my first sports car/exotic will undoubtedly be a 97 Viper GTS, blue with white stripes. Although you could easily find a Porsche that fits within your budget, the viper feels more exotic because you don't see many of them. Everytime I get in my car I see corvettes & porsches (not many turbos though), but I rarely see vipers (maybe this is just because I live in New England?). I'd say go for it and get the viper! If it makes you smile and is what you want, get it!
