Mercedes-Benz SL 500 (R129) '98.
Colour: Premium Ultimate Yellow (from Nissan 370Z).

My version of an AMG 500 SL 6.0 (later named SL60). It was the first AMG that I had ever seen, around 1992, I think in Road & Track. AMG was an independent company, and until then, I'd never imagined that an M-B could be fast, let alone loud & yellow! Of course, M-B later purchased AMG, and they're much more common & well-known now.

Lowered 12mm F&R, sports softs, tuned to just over 400HP with sports exhaust, no weight reduction or drivetrain parts.

Thanks, of course you can make your own.

The replica turned out pretty good. A '98 SL 600 just showed up in my UCD, so I'll be painting that one instead. Will post some photos when it's all done up with a suspension kit.

I may go for a more orange kind of color, just so it doesn't look like we have the same car. :P
 
Ah, the legend of the Silver Arrow

didn't know which one to choose so i'll just post them both :scared:
