I agree, the M6 is classier looking, but you gotta love 4 doors.

Theres a guy in my apt. complex with an old 850ci, it says v12 on the side. It sounds MEAN!

And yes the 830ci are mean...how can a V12 not be.

Speaking of v12, there is a guy that owns a Falcon Jet on the airport I work at.
The dudes got loot.
He drives a custom Mercedes SL55 V12 with a BI-TURBO. That car makes me weak in the knees.

Looked boring, until it hit the track. Can't wait to do that with my kids in the back.

The car will definately shine from 80 onwards, but here in the US you really limited in doing so. The interior looks great, and there is this cool button next to the smg gear shifter I think its called power and its adds 100+ hp. Normally when you turn the car on its only has 400 hp to save gas consumption, but once you hit that power button you get an additional 100 hp, its healthy nos.


There are a couple vids of the new m5 beating the current e55 amg (does a 1/4 in 12.4) by car-lengths when racing from a roll, and it romped a stock 996tt, and kept pace with the lambo. I think some filthy rich sickos' in Europe actually rented an airport and tested the new m5 against their own exotics.

i think you are talking about the SL65 AMG...twin turbo with 612 hp and 738 ft-lb!

BMW M5 V10 is a amazing lump but it can't beat the Porsche Carrera GT V10 in the sound...almost like a F1 car!

11:1 compression, can you say bang! There's not much that the aftermarket is going to be able to do to this car. In otherwords, he's full of it.

BTW, mine will be here in 8 weeks, spec'd it on Saturday, black on black. I've been number 3 on the list for over 2 years.
