Bri thanks for the AMG event invite...had fun.

Good to see Jeff & Co there too...

C63 I got sideways a tad in three turns, E63 was impressive for a big car, SL was like driving a car that needed weight watchers big time.

Bi turbo too much lag, found the Brembos not so great but on SL were solid. Think the C63 brakes were cooked. Instructor was impressed with my apex execution and timely brake to steer to goose it...

AMG

UdubBadger · 05-09-2011, 12:01 AM

Yea that JDM chicago meet was all... umm... you know.

gary88 · 05-09-2011, 11:17 AM

The phonetic pronunciation of AMG in German is "ahh em gay"

mkPOTO · 05-09-2011, 12:19 PM

Tim I forgot about that event as well, great timing for me to goon vaca lol, bri did the projector work out for you?

RaceBlood · 05-09-2011, 12:49 PM

Is there a review of the BMW 5 vs the MB E350/500? That MB E was the surprise, the chassis/suspension was super refined and agile.

Felt like a boat to me. The C was the nice surpise to me. My buddy felt the same.

RaceBlood · 05-09-2011, 12:57 PM

Yea I hear ya, but I didnt thinks it was a big boat as I would of thought. The C was hands down the most exciting model to toss about the turns, lot of grunt and torque.

I found the M/T review, BMW was faster and livelier, which makes sense. But the bimmer has 25 more HP.

mithiral67 · 05-09-2011, 01:02 PM

the SL was the one I liked the least. For near 150k I would want so much more in a car. I cant see how that could compete with a porsche or an Audi in the 150 price range.

RaceBlood · 05-09-2011, 01:18 PM

The SL makes no excuses as a sportscar look but a executive everyday car, its is comfy, luxurious and has it all, but by no means is a Purist sports car. The BMW 6 is a boulevard cruiser too, with 4 seats. I am not sure how old the SL platform is, but its really a niche car, oddly almost a relic of the hey day of big money cruisers. It reminds me of a car a hollywood executive would have, divorced twice, country club type.

/////AMG event was great thanks Brian

As for the rest of you... You guys are idiots. The SL was amazing.

Seriously? Your z4 (i assume by you car noted) would kill that sl on a track with limited straight ways for 1/3 the price.

illinipo · 05-09-2011, 04:16 PM

Be that as it may, it was the best of the bunch in my opinion. I think I just have a thing for short chicks... oops i mean wheelbases.

Also I'm just the tire warmer for said z4. Maybe some day I will have a penis of my own.
