Why are AMG cars soooo slow around curves?

Why does BMW constantly crush the AMG's in curves and AMG crush BMW in straight line.

I bet in a few years, BMW's will be back, but for now, FUUUUUUUUUgly!

I agree with you 100%, I think the next 5 will look awesome (hopefully). I was a HUGE BMW fan til they made the current 7 and 5 series. It's a shame the 3er is going the same route.

I drove my friend's 545i...what an awesome machine BMW made if you can drive it everyday with your eyes closed not having to look at the interior or exterior. The interior, IMO they missed completely...I think a Hyundai's interior looks "classier". I don't know, but the 5er feels very "plasticky" on the inside...the exterior I can see eventually growing on me.

My wife actually likes the 7er and suggested we buy that over the CL55, I suggested if we buy the 7er, she would not get her ring, so we're in the CL55 now

Why do people who don't even own these cars (and probably any car at all) troll here?

Is it sour grapes? "I wish I could have one, but mommy and daddy will only buy me a tricycle, so I'm going to go bother the Mercedes guys". Pathetic. Some pimply-faced teenager with no friends and no life coming here to lie about the cars he wishes he's owned (mostly Mercedes), and then once people realize he's full of it and call him for a troll, he suddenly takes to attacking Mercedes...not because he doesn't like Mercedes (otherwise, his bogus claim to have owned a dozen or so Mercedes is difficult to comprehend), but just to annoy people who can have the cars he cannot and who are intelligent enought to spot an obvious liar.

To wit:

ENEMA, here is your posting (trolling) history:

Here, 12/09/03, you claimed to own the following:

While here, on 7/14/04 you claimed to have owned the following:

Now I decided to try BMW's and I love them. I currently have 7 BMW's. I have a 760Li, 645Ci, M3, Z8, M5, and a 330i ZHP. Truly awesome cars each and everyone.

I think in a few years the BMW's will have to go. Next will come a Bentley, Rolls and Mr. Enzo.
And then there was this post, from 7/24/03:

So, you own a 745Li, oh no wait, it is a 760Li, and you own a Rolls, oh no wait, you are planning to purchase one, and you owned a CL600, oh no wait, you didn't, and an S600, oh no wait, it was an S500 4matic sport, and an X5 4.6is, or not...hmmm.... Oh, and as someone pointed out: There's no such thing as a 2003 Rolls-Royce Corniche, ENEMA.

Hmm, so you OWNED a CL63, ENEMA? So why was it such a big deal to you on 9/04/03, when you claimed to have SEEN one overseas?

I didn't get a great view of the badgind but I did get a glimpse and the rims and body of the car looked more accented as well. I definetely was not the CL55 because it didn't have the quad exhuast or the CL600 because the body was slightly more accented and sleeker. That CL63 was the best looking Mercedes I have seen

Similarly, if you have owned a CL600 as you claimed on 12/09/03, why is it you were so excited to see one on 8/01/03:

I keep on seeing the hottest 2003 CL600 ever its got 20" brabus rims fully loaded and its got a lorinser kit on it just and amazing car! If any of you have pics of a current 2003 CL600 or CL55 please post cause I'm lookin into getting either the CL600 or a 2005 M5 which is supposed to have 500 horsepower and 0-60 in an estimated 3.9 seconds it is also cheaper by about 40K
And again on 12/30/03, you were quite excited to see all of the CL's in Vegas:

I was also driving through the residential area and within two minuted of leaving the parking lot I saw two sick CL's. One was dark grey with chrome rims. I also came across perhaps the finest CL ever. It was a silver 2003 CL600 with the Brabus kit. Get this he made the front look like the SLR. I was staying at the Venetian and there was this amazing black on black 2003 S600 with brabus kit as well. If you wanna see some crazy Benze's in general I suggest you go to Las Vegas

And if you're indeed wealthy enough to have afforded the list of cars you listed previously, the following thread you started is rather puzzling:

So I was just wondering are you guys like CEO's of top companies or pro athletes that just love showing off the ridiculous amount of money they have and how to spend correctly when buying a Mercedes-Benz

So, you own a 745Li, oh no wait, it is a 760Li, and you own a Rolls, oh no wait, you are planning to purchase one, and you owned a CL600, oh no wait, you didn't, and an S600, oh no wait, it was an S500 4matic sport, and an X5 4.6is, or not...and you are very impressed by seeing cars...that you have already owned. And oh, yes, despite owning nearly $1 million worth of cars, you're curious to know how people can afford such expensive cars.

So, ENEMA, unfortunately for you, you'll never know which car is faster around a curve, because all mommy and daddy would buy your young worthless butt is:

Hard to expect "meaningful" from a thirteen year old troll...look at his posting history; the intellectual equivalent of bubble gum, and that's an insult to bubble gum.

Then I highly recommend you ignore the post and not repond. Replying only adds fuel to the fire. If you troll, you will be banned. If you initiate a thread or post just for the sake of instigating or to begin a flame, you will be banned.
