That SL is still classic looking.

That car was built like a tank. Period. Wow 2JZ swap in a SL, very original.

cool, but looks like a waste of a good 2JZ. Dont see the purpose of putting it in a SL, but whatever...

Are you implying that the SL is to good of a car to have a 2JZ or the 2JZ is to good for the SL or neither?? I think its a nice and different swap. Something that probably wont be copied at all which also makes it original and exclusive. The car looks nice and seems to be pushing out a lot of power.

Do the SL's come in manual at all? Because this one now has a Getrag 6 speed...

I cant believe merc was selling them up until 2001 or something. Imagine buying a 2001 model, then watching as the current model was released... that would be one big "D'oh!!!"
