0700700 · 02-07-2007, 09:09 PM

sorry guys, but this really deserved its own thread... not mine, but i wish it was

0700700 · 02-07-2007, 09:09 PM

DTM AMG. 586ps, 820nm

aapriadi · 02-07-2007, 09:10 PM

oh yeah

BimmerboyPate92 · 02-07-2007, 09:13 PM

Oh yeah...a nice big powerful (non race engineered forced induction engine) mercedes...except...they all handle like boats.

6SpeedMan · 02-07-2007, 09:13 PM

It's fast but is that all that matters in the "greatest" car in the world. I'd rather have a bugatti veyron in that case.

despite being a mercedes, it's pretty freakin' competant on a track as well.... its basically mercedes version of what would be an M6 CSL.... but an M6 CSL would be way better.

MonacoBimm · 02-07-2007, 09:23 PM

HMMMM. I prefer all the cars beside it IMO.

SES_D · 02-07-2007, 09:24 PM

thissnsooosucks · 02-07-2007, 09:26 PM

m3rxn · 02-07-2007, 09:26 PM

And that folks is the problem I have with all MBs (plus the fact that I cannot get the option of three pedals:mad: )

The AMGs are like an updated and more luxurious version of the pony cars. Take common sense sedan, drop big a$$ engine in it, big tires, work on the suspension just enough, let loose on the world-they have great straight-line acceleration but don't handle like they should on a track-I would take the M5/M6 anytime.

imolazhp_ci · 02-07-2007, 09:35 PM

man you guys are dumb. it really is a great car... i mean, i'll be the first advocate of blowing up every mercedes mfg'ing plant in the world. i despise them...every one. and i have driven almost every one... incl. the SLR, not this one.... so i can't speak from experience. but on paper. and from all reviews... its a GREAT car... and i think it looks beautiful.

bavarian19 · 02-07-2007, 09:38 PM

Well since I am dumb ^, one more foolish statement can' hurt - Ithink that wing looks

. As for great car-yes, it is a very good car for the drag strip. It will also hold its own well in the allmighty stoplight race, but I prefer cars that handle as well as they accelerate. BMW, yes; Porsche, yes; MB, not.

But I guess I am just dumb so what do I know....

pierre_wei · 02-07-2007, 09:45 PM

OMG!!! How did u feel seeing it in person!!!!!!!

Zeiss · 02-07-2007, 09:50 PM

Not only does it look stunning, the freaking car handles like its on rails

yeah but the point is it doesn't handle like a normal mercedes. handling/lightweight is the cars primary purpose. in fact... it's acceleration numbers aren't entirely impressive.... nor it's top speed. i mean, it does 201 mph. and stock unrestricted M6 will hit over 210.

Driv3r · 02-07-2007, 09:53 PM

Id take it!!! They made the inside SIMPLE and yet Sophisticated...which is what i dream for. The car probably sounds awesome, handles awesome, is nice and elite....ok now cmon guys, i dont like MB but you DESLIKE the car because of its badge? isnt that basing judgement on the car by just looking at the badge...
