Yes sir my wife does have spice. She is right. But allows me to try different cars that interest me, for that I am happy to attend a safety meeting from time to time.

The SL65 is... hard to describe. The only real faults are the tire size (way too small) and the electronic package. For me I likend it to a jet because thats what it felt like when you gave it gas. The V12 TT is so smooth it will blow your mind so when you think sl65 think smooth STRONGGG acceleration.

That being said for now I prefer my simple C4 the electronic package still sucks but I can and am changing that. The power is great, plenty, most importantly more than anyother car I have had the power and handling match up, so the driver feels much more involved. I am not an aggressive driver My C6 and SL65 both seemd to say "trust me I can handle this" when things got lively, while in a porsche (at least mine) the driving decisions are back in my control even though I know it can outperform anything I would ever ask of it.

For now I am headed out to the C4 I am pulling carpet/doors and stereo putting in AVIC-D3 with all the extras I will post some pics of my project.

Yes, it is absolutely important to ensure you are driving "safely" at 140+mph..

Good luck with the stereo upgrade-
