Holy hell that CL got a good spanking

And the Ferrari sounds absolutely epic!!!!! Like they stuffed Scoot Storch in the engine bay and said "Play!".

Ridiculous! What was the chase car?

I own several of those cars, racing on city streets at night with lots of slow moving cars is a death wish. It is fun to go fast but dumb under those conditions.

dont forget this is Turkey
we dont have race tracks or drag strips here
we have 1 drag strip but it s only 280 meters and it s not a proper strip.
unfortunatly we love fast cars we love driving fast but we dont have roads or tracks for it
and i also would like to mention something to you
im sure you are not gonna believe it
do you guys know howmuch we pay for our cars
i ll give you few example to show you howmuch we sacrifice for our cars
sl63 amg 250.000 euros
corvette c6 145.000 dollars
corvette z056 200.000 dollars
2002 sl55 amg 85.000 euros
audi r8 200.000 euro
we pay %85 for import tax then %18 vat on top of the cars real value

eventhough cars are so expensive here you can see so many nice cars here maybe more than you can see in NY but maybe less than CA

Well, the CL at least beat out the Skyline. That's surprising.

I lived in LA and its car lover heaven here, especially after the crisis hits, many cars from Hollywood are for sale.

But where I come from, Indonesia has to pay right about the same price there for the car as well.

We have circuits, but they aren't open to the public, we have to wait for an event to happen to do so.

We have to pay 100% Import fee, 1% / .1l Gas Guzzler fee + 50% for Luxury Tax not to mention another 10%+ for back door fee to get to port people to priorities our car.

Right now there is a New Venom Viper 1500 for sale for 1,000,000USD. That's a bit pricey for a Viper.

The CL wasn't turbo'd. It wasn't the 65. It was the 63.

there is speed limits but you can hardly get stopped by police
if they do stop us we give them 50tl(30$) they let us go
there s no cameras .they sometimes put radar on motorways but we only pay 100$ max and thats it
we do drag racing or roll on the motorways
i know these may not make alot of sense to you guys but that s how it is here
you can always see cars racing on the motorways it s a common thing here
we enjoy our cars here more because we can drive it however we like
that s why tourists foreigners have difficulties getting used to this traffic here

I don't think the UK is quite as bad as you make it out to be, i for one cruise at 90mph daily and the only problem is the average speed cameras, although you don't see hardly any racing here. On topic though, i can't believe the CL63 got screwed so bad, thats a bit of a shocker.

I agree with you. On a roll that z06 sucked up the 63.

I hear the zr1 is alot easier on the *** and nerves as well....if they only did that hood scoop right....eh?

You'd be wrong. Skyline is quicker than CL63 stock-stock, it weighs way north of two tons. As camera car, the aim isn't to go WOT

What banks are in Turkey? How can you trust them? Do the banks there give you debit cards that are Visa or Mastercard so you can use them out of the country, or are they only ATM cards?
Also, how do you avoid your taxes?
