You'll need to rob a bank to buy one.

These were most likely made by Fiamm and were similar in appearance to Ferrari horns of the same period.

Czech / German. Close enough :)

You appreciate gifted steering, a deft chassis, dials to adjust temperature, and a “no-fucks-given wildness”. Are you sure we’re not related? Great review man.

I don’t disagree. But was the twitchy time bomb statement based on actual, real owner data or was it another myth being perpetuated on the internet? Think about it this way: I could make the most outlandish statement about any car / vehicle. For example, let’s say I started posting about Tundra V8s grenading…

“That S52 isn’t the twitchy time bomb that Europe received in the E36 M3.”

I gotta admire an automotive journalist that tells like it is, especially as reader interests and manufacturer interests rarely align.

I could see this as a useful application for manufacturers or racing teams to push innovation and test component stress limitations. However, as a spectator sport I'm not buying it. If I'm going to watch a race, human drivers need to be behind the wheel.

Yes, the R129 300SL was available with a 5 speed manual. The R107 380SL never, ever left the factory with a manual gearbox, I promise you that.

Hey Jalopnik, this guy should be a regular contributor. I’m already hooked.
