I guess this guy is a member of the rich guys hells angels. I think they are know and AmericanExpress bikers.
Honestly I no long live or work in that area and I rarely have time to go for a drive out there but I have seen this a million times.

So if a W211 isn't "meant" to be driven like a "sportscar" than why does it?
Would a weekday work for you as far as a track day?
Oh, and by the way the E320 with AirMatic out handles an E55. Just so you know. So who's pretending now?

You also would have a poser set of 19"s period. Since we all know that the 19" wheel on a W211 does not yield and better performance in the area of increase grip, and or actual cornering G's.
LMAO LMAO...hey retard the w211 v6 isn't meant to be driven like a sports car. Make sure you buckle up and wear a helmet when you're "cornering" and feeling that insane "G" pull in your four door v6. I didn't buy a four door six cylinder to pretend that it's an M5 or E55. This guy is such an idiot..enough said.

I raced CCSA for over five years until I tore an acl in a football game. My cousin Mark Hampton works at the track moron. Give me a time and day and i'll be there. So bring Balki jr and we'll see how much **** you talk then.
So let me get this straight. You're trying to sit here and brag about your so called driving skills. And secondly you're trying to say that you see nothing wrong in your lame *** video. Do I really have to say anything? No i don't, the video and your immature rants say plenty.

I have an E55 in the garage. Id never take it out for a canyon drive because its just to massive. It may be a freaking quick car but I would pick an E500 or E320 if I were going for a drive for "fun" in a 4 door car.
Dont fall into the trap of marketing where AMG = best. Its not always the case.

I was swivelling bi-xenons with FOUR total highbeams so I can see the road just fine at night.

I'm not sure what you're asking me here. Can you explain your "than why does it?" remark...i'm a bit confused. Just cuz some moron such as yourself can hit the throttle and stomp the brakes so much that you have to pull off the road to let them cool doesn't make a car a sports car. Kind of an oxymoron isn't it?
HEY RETARD, IF THE V6 W211 DROVE LIKE A SPORTSCAR WOULD YOUR BRAKES BE SMOKING TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD?
So either you have no idea what you're talking about when you say your mbz is a sports car...or your driving skills are so lacking that you are able to make a "sportscar's" brakes fail.....you're retarded.

well most people who make money can take a day off now and then. But ill give you that... it IS hard to get away on a week day.
So if your family works at the track can we get in on a weekend without paying the 2500 track rental fee? We would be glad to do some timed lapping sessions!

I DON'T WANT to see them kill or be killed doing such a video, so I will not encourage it by saying do more.. but let's just move on, and take the video for what it is.. a bunch of young (well off) kids (22 years is still a kid!) doing what young me do..
And next time, rent out a race track and speed all you want with out ANY RISK to others.
I still say he drove well (Taking into account his age), hot brakes doesn't mean bad driving..

Sure thing man...I was planning on trailering my Repsol rr up there this weekend..haven't tracked it yet. But i need to get the bike track ready(wiring, fluids etc.) so hopefully i can get my hands dirty this week. As far as you coming along..i don't really care. You were real quick to jump the gun and talk **** to me for no apparent reason..which is pretty lame. But i'm willing to look past it for some fun on the track. What type of bike do you ride?
Now we're making progress.... take it all to the track!

Well im sorry to say i dont own a bike. I have everyone telling me get a bike but I honestly and just plain a bit scared of bikes like your 1000RR. I do have to respect guys who buy the bikes and actually use them at the track... they way they were designed to be used.
I would be in a MB W203 if I came to the track. I have run with a 350z driver many times at the big track just trying to see if it was you. Twice with small no name groups and then with NASA once.

I can plan a Saturday, and I do have another car to bring. SA22C. That is a first gen RX-7, my track ****. It is not going to be as straight line ready as the stage II Z, however it is just a cheap old car that is quick and handles well enough.

If you have family at the track I bet you would now the answer to this question. A friend and I are looking to rent the track for a small "track day" with 20-25 people. We would like to do the big track but the paperwork says you need to have rented the small track first to qualify for the big track rental. Is there any way to get around this clause? We have no issue paying for the rental but the small track is "less fun" for larger cars.

fair enough...
what kind of power does a stage 2 z put out? What have you done to the brakes chassis etc?

Also guys...sorry about the heated discussion...we're all wrong in some sense. Hell about ten years ago, at the age of 18, i drove my best friend's dad's lambo diablo 176mph on the freshly paved 73 toll road. So i'm not one to talk about safety. All i'm saying is that you should admit to the fact that it's not a safe practice rather than claiming to have some superior driving skill and sixth sense that voids your canyon driving of danger.

I personally don't know, but i can find out for you. But if the rules state that, then there's really no way around it. From my experience at willow it seems that the rules are strictly enforced and abided by. The first time I went up there with my 96 cbr I was told I couldn't track it because of wiring issues with my bike as well as fluid issues. Having a close friend or relative employed by the track doesn't mean that the rules can be disregarded etc. Also, people there enjoy their jobs and aren't really willing to put it on the line for others...at least i would assume that's the case.

Well I will have to figure that out then. I do need to go to a meeting and be productive.
I respect the rules and am glad they are enforced. some clubs clearly dont care who runs at the track and well those were the events I saw car to car contact take place in a non passing run group. needless to say I dont go out with those clubs any longer.
In racing and track driving rules save lives. No question there.

So even at 22 I earned all of the income myself and continue to grow my business, and not part, or drink, or even smoke. Well I smoke brakes and tire, but enough said.

I think we should all go to the track, take some pics, and have fun. Grudge matches are for civic drivers with big wings.
