I would have loved to see you trying to get the car licensed at the local WA licensing office. "Now say again, just what kind of Mercedes do your own? What the hell is DTM???"

It's the handling and braking that blow me away. For a 3700lb. car, this car handles like my Ariel does. Combined with the acceleration, this car is the closest thing to a total package, daily driveable supercar that I've ever experienced. The ride is not too harsh, unless you want to adjust it accordingly. There's a lot of room for storage, AC, etc. But then you open it up, and the sound...it's different than any other 55 (modded or not) than I've heard. Got to lift it up in the air to hear how they did it. It's truly amazing.

BEn, and I thought you were just out cruising when I called you with my dead battery in the acura 
thanks again for helping me with the jump box
Guys: I was lucky enough to be the first passenger in the new car... and see it come off the truck... the only words we could keep saying is HOLY FCK! The car is.. amazing.. no other words! Sitting in the passenger seat the acceleration is incredible! spinning tires through 2nd and 3rd...

And I've not gotten farther than that. All in all, doesn't feel as fast as my Ruf, but it's certainly not slow.
