i drive them all, fast and hard
New edition to the garage

Just got my hands on this.
Its nice, very mean exhaust, especially in sport mode (which i think just holds gears longer, but wont let u get into 6th gear enless u do it with paddle)
Infotainment system is horrible, but who cares.
Its tremendously slow compared to the E63, but does sound great.
Unfortunately only borrowing for a few days....will be fun

Dang borrowing counts as an addition? LOL

Oh Maz's are slow but the newer ones have closed the gaps slightly- The MC version of the GT is a looker no doubt.

Totally agree with you vdub, my brother has the GTS and it has a really really nice exhaust note but it lacks power which is quite a shame -- almost everyone that asked me about the car thought the car is fast. Well, at the end of the day the car is a cruiser and for weekend getaway (sort of).

They sound and look great but they are worse than a 10 year Jag when it comes to reliability.
Enjoy the loaner

No, but BUY MY HREs! From one Jew to another (presumable Jew...with Rabbi in your name), I will give you a price that would even convince the Pharaoh to let our people go!

Do you mind if I give you an offer that probably (well almost likely) will make you laugh Pert? (its not that I want to lowball, it's just that I have wheels on my car already) -- but can't ignore a good deal on HREs if I get it plus it will be the same exact wheels like my brother's GTS
