2006 SL65 ///AMG - GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN: 2005 E55; 2002 ML55; 2001 CLK55; 1992 BMW 850i; 1991 M5
Classy Guy
First of all, I find it somewhat disconcerting that thoughts regarding the size of my anatomy have even rattled around the otherwise vacuous space behind your busy little mouth. That type of sophomoric, high-school locker room comment actually helps prove the point I made in my previous post. If the fact that I have both good taste to know the finer things in life and the wherewithall to acquire them is so threatening to you, maybe it's YOU who have "bigger issues" you need to address.

This message is for "Lexani" with the '04 SL 600. Thank you for your friendly support of my earlier responses to the TuscanRaider. It means alot when someone I haven't even met can identify my attempts to trod the higher ground with a bit of old fashioned wit. I am sorry that by simply acknowledging the entertainment value of my 'reposte' with Mr. StarWarz, he has directed his tactless, offensive banter toward you. For anyone who may have been offended, (even YOU, Mr. Tuscan) I assure you, I am not an elitest, I in no way intended genuine offense, and I have healthy respect for ALL cool, classy cars, even Mustangs. Show me an 'Elanor' or a Shelby, or a Saleen, or a Rousch, or a vintage Pantera, and I will stop what I'm doing, smile, and give a BIG thumbs up to the lucky driver. That just isn't the situation presented in this thread, wherein someone calling himself 'ZouZou' hops on the MB forum to say patently disparaging things about AMGs and their drivers, (I.E. 40 year old geezers and their AMG's or words to that effect.) My initial (and admittedly caustic) Mustang comment was directed toward HIM, not TuscanRaider, who subsequently commented on my private parts, and then Lexani's family. That being said, read the posts on this thread, Tuscan, and ask yourself: Do your posts sound like something that someone who thinks for a living would write, or do they sound like they came straight from a rude adolescent who has run out of anything intelligent to say? P.S. Lexani, just typing "04 SL 600" says it all in my book. Be well.

Come to think of it, you are right. Your car has close to 500hp, correct?

Figure this: This post is not meant to insult you, but hopefully for you to wake up and stop being so rude. Hope it worked.

Here to help, I just fail to see why people starting attacking something totally out of what they're arguement contains-- pherhaps its because they're losing, or they've run out of insults and decided to sink to "teenage insults". Either way, I know what it feels like, and when it happened to you, I figured to say something and not let it go unnoticed, you did not deserve that degrading insult, and I hope it doesn't happen again, but with people such as Mr. Starwarz on these boards-- you can never stop it from happening. Hopefully thats the last of it. Also, thank you for the compliments, you have a nice batch of vehicles yourself. Best Regards,
John

Wouldn't the 500hp '06 Z06 beat you?

that would be more humorous.
i dont think the fact that a 500hp vette is faster than a kompressor mb should be much of a surprise. what would be interesting is if a 4 door chevy was faster, that would be the proper comparison.

4-door Chevy? What, you mean like the Cobalt? Impala? Mailbu?
No way! Why would Chevy want to play sedan vs. sedan-- thats ridiculous. The E55 murdered the old Z06 so bad, that when Chevy engineers where building the new Z06, their goal was to be faster than the 4-door E55. They did it. And now, they want to rub it in our face. I say: Good job Chevy! Its about time you beat that E55. It must've been such a shame to have an '00 - '04 Z06, and next to you at the light pulls a 4-door family sedan, and than it dusts you-- what a shame.

Boy O boy...lots of love in this thread. I figured I better jump in and contribute my divine wisdom.
First off....its STAR WARS....not starwarz. never insult the holy trnity of movies.
Second, Tuscan....we normally see eye to eye on most topics, but I find that when someone says "buying an AMG only makes up for someones insecurities and small *****" that person usually doesn't own an AMG. Its always the people that want one that bash the others with them.
Lastly....Lexani.....where to start....here's a news flash...noone here on this board could care less about your kid ( the genius ).
Its nice to see you have to flash the poor kids IQ to stroke your own ego.
You could say anything you want about my family on here....I don't care...its the internet and you don't know me. So why get so defensive?
Thank you all for letting me waste your precious time!!

For similar money...
If I was just looking for all out performance, give me a Noble M12 over pretty much anything else in the world. Sure it only has 365HP/380# of Tq., but its low weight lets it run an 11.9 quarter, 0-100 in 8.8 seconds and 0-60 in 3.7. And the 1.156g lateral grip insures that either the E55 or the Ford would be a smoldering pile wrapped around a tree when the road got curvy.
What's the point? Everyone has their own desires and ideas when it comes to transportation. For an every day car, acceptable among adults, the E55 is hard to beat. For a high school kid who wants to go fast on a budget, the mustang is an excellent buy.
Much like the money to pay for it, refinement takes time to develop. I would guess that a lot of the AMG owners have been fans of going fast their whole life and many may have either owned or lusted after something similar to the Cobra in their youth.
Bottom line, don't try to intentionally **** people off(i.e. don't come to a benz forum and **** all over MB's) and enjoy your time behind the wheel, be it in a F360 Stradale or a Gremlin.
