That sounds like Porsche guys calling Vette Guys Mullet heads.
It's rich guy bashing and very small ****ed.
Talk about reliabilty issues.
The F Car guys are ALL weekend warriors.
Porshce guys DRIVE.
Although my next car will be a Farrari CS. (even though the GT3 out performs the CS)

More seriously, it always seems like car guys find away to make it work with other car guys. Vader, any thought of a F430 instead of the CS? (I know we are on an AMG board, maybe we can pursuade him into a SL65!)

OMG_Buttsock has spread like wildfire!!!!!!!!
As for the F-Car if I do move brands, It will be for the CS.
IF not, I stick with the P Cars, The 997 Carrera Sport is pretty wicked too.
But I am sure we are all waiting to see the C63 unleashed.

I found the whole AMG vs Porsche argument funny. They're totally different cars. Porsches are more of a driver's cars and will out perform most AMG's on a track. AMG's are more about luxury and power.
Also one comes with a slushbox and the other with a manual...

Dead even with the CLKDTM, No SL numbers or they don't make the list.
This is the only AMG in the top Times.

Ahhhhhh...lots of people go to supercars.net, lots of people go and look at numbers from the testing in the car mags, some folks compare Nurburgring times, some the test track times from TopGear, some the test track times from Through the Windshield.......
Its all subjective more than relative -- and who knows how objective any or all of it is??????
We all know that any given car on any given day in any given conditions can turn better or worse times.....
And then you add the driver into the equation - how good is he, how well does he know the track, how familiar is he with the car, how does he compare in all the above to the guy that drove and recorded the time in the other car, and how's his day going?
But I suppose that at least it is something to make comparisons by....
Just don't take it , or quote it, as the truth.
