Man I know! Look at this SC430. Obviously the makers of the car put in too much power or something.. way too hard to drive!

Unhappy F1 Wannabee's - all of them

I could have predicted this. The way the M5 owner thinks "Twisties" and here I come @ 8500 RPM, they want to push their Beasts to the limit without understanding the power and its reasonable application. As an older M5 owner I definitely could have predicted this by their comments on the M5 boards, Gustav included !!

Hey hey hey, why are you referring to the M5 as a beast now??? Everyone knows that the E55 AMG is the true beast lol.

Im jk. nevertheless I had to get you on that one. I do agree with you, that the drivers of these cars need to realize that it is not an F1 car.

to be fair i have seen a good number of REALLY messed up E55k's. The E55 wrecks take place at really high speeds and normally spell bad news for the drivers. Any car with 500hp has the ability to bite you in the butt really easily.

I think M5 guys are out trying to play F1 and E55 guys are out trying to drag race any type of fast car and show off equally as much. Different cars with differente strengths.

It's all in the driver so you cant really blame the car. The M5 is a wonderful car and the E55 aint to bad either.

got a clean record vadim... nice try though

I guess there is no reason to enjoy some of the nicest roads in america. Its not like I am out there with a stop watch trying to kill my self. Actually people doing that in rice rockets (in drift crews) have destroyed the local canyon roads and turned them into cop and death traps.

I can recall the wonderful people of evo sitting in a public parking lot laying 200 ft of rubber down in a car they dont even own because they wanted to show off the other mb owners. This is just what RENNtech and Carlsson and Brabus doing this all the time in parking lots open to the public.... no we reserve that for evosport only. Granted the lot was looking empty but there were families within 100 ft of the area playing with remote controlled cars and kids were free to run out and do as they pleased.

Well done..... or maybe the time the wonderful owners of the firm were blasting down busy freeways in a customers 550 because a pud in a WRX wanted to mess with them. Dont get on your high horse and act like your company is ideal. I would say the actions I have seen with my eyes were less than impressive and id never let any evo employee drive my car... even if it were to only go down the street to toco bell for a chalumpa.

Just re-enforces the point.........

that the vehicles are far too advanced for the average driver.Buying a high horsepower car doesn't include Nascar driving skills.
