I've owned a C5 and presently have an SL500. Other than the speed differential (which day-to-day in the US doesn't matter anyway), the Mercedes SL isa much better car.
I agree. I've been a corvette owner for some time now...love the cars and what they can do with very little money in mods. I've owned a modded C5 with just over 400rwhp and a 07 Z06. There is no doubt in my mind that the Z06 is faster. Before I sold the vettes and decided to go for a wife friendly car....sl500....I raced a friends SL65 and that was close. He won...but not by much. Launching the Z06 takes a bit of skill but if you are moving and relative speeds...the Z06 is relentless all the way up to 190+mph. I'm not familiar to modified SL cars but they are animals. Either way, I prefer the SL as a car over the brutal grunt of the vette.
