Why the hell did they use a Automatic Turbo? That car is way slower than a manual version.

One day, Americans will learn that Porsche is pronounced Poor-sha, not Porsh. Oh, and that Ferrari is a 360 modern-a, not a 360 mo-denna.

If you would like the Benz to do more than just look good in this crowd, you would have needed one of this 2 and even those would have struggeled to do much damage.....

Great Vid. I think an SL55 would have done quite well with that group. I track mine pretty regularly and have no trouble hanging with the best of 'em.

Cool collection of cars you have. Do you track you Indy car ?
If so I guess you skills and experience is a bit more than average and therefor its no wonder you do well against the oposition on the track

On this level its mostly the driver factor that does the difference anyway, and the SL55 is a very fast car...

What model M5 do you have ?
