You couldn't have proved my point any better if I'd sent you a script. I *can* let it go, and will after this response. Just like in the aforementioned thread, after 3 responses its obvious you weren't interested in discussing the point (E39 M5's status of "best" vs. the E55's lack of said status) so I conceded the argument to your posting endurance and moved on.
And as promised, this will be my last post to you in this thread. As for the mods, I think they are very well aware of who needs moderating and who does not. Some people are able to discuss, argue, and spar without resorting to juvenile tactics like name calling - and some are not. Adios!

Again, you would do well to follow your own advice if you're sincere about it applying to you, and not just to others.
Perhaps now you might find the discipline to start practicing what you so loudly preach.
Have a great morning, Mr. Pot (as you put it; or was it Mr. Kettle)?

Careful. He’s not been banned…only suspended.
Perhaps in the interim he’ll have found another forum on which to enlighten and entertain.

Ultraseven it is true that the GTR outclasses the c63 in terms of performance. For some people however its a choice between as you said a "warp drive in disguise" or all out performance. It may be a ridiculous comparison for some but as noted in this thread there have been at least a few people who have cross shopped the two vehicles.
Taken from another forum I browse:
"One thing that may differ from the Nissan is that BMW was very clear to explain to him that it's a three strikes and you're out game if you decide to use it.
At any rate, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. If I was to make a guess, I'd say both are at fault. It is very likely the car has been driven very hard and I'm willing to bet the dealer or Nissan failed to mention that repeated full throttle starts will cook the drive train." -quote Chuck Norris(users name
)
For me its mostly the shock of having to pay 20 grand to fix a destroyed transmission. I'm sure there's other supercars with equally expensive repairs but after seeing how easy it is for the manufacturer to void your warranty my other issue is the black box that can record pretty much all your driving telemetry(which will soon be in all vehicles after 2011).
