View Full Version : Pick one to roll with. AMG/M/S or RS/Type-R/V-series/R (56k doh!)
1SICKLEX 06-07-05, 08:14 PM So if you had a choice, which speciality group of these luxury cars would you roll with. No speculation and only seriously tuned cars, thus L-tuned and A-spec are not included.
So pick one, if you had to drive those cars and only those cars. It may not be an easy choice but none are a BAD choice :D

If it has 55, 65, or maybe upcoming 63, then I'm all for it.
Sigh, can I just have them all(or one from each)!!
GQD_GS4 06-07-05, 09:42 PM e55 amg!!!!! drool....drooll......drool....
Id have to go with M... AMG doesnt offer a 5 or 6 speed manual... :D
videcormeum 06-07-05, 10:15 PM Looks like I'm the lone Audi vote so far.
I care less about the numbers and more about everything else. I like cars that present a certain image - understated yet agressive, refined yet excessive, unnecessary yet well-executed.
Audi's RS and S cars are all of those things and, for that reason, I'm drawn to them.
They're not necessarily the fastest or best handling - but I love them.
That and they offer them in "sensible" wagon form (though not here :cry: ) :cool:
M.
TwiBlueG35 06-07-05, 10:24 PM Honestly I would love to see other people driving those high performance vehicles on street, but for me, Japanese cars are still my favorite. Lexus, Infiniti, Acura are the ones I would stick with.
if you talk about style i will choose mb for sure
but if you talk about getting the car for pure driving spirit, i will choose the m any day
SL55 AMG is my favorite benz, Definetely getting one as soon as possible. Love the Brabus Monoblocks in silver and in black. This car makes me studder. :woot:
yeah the sl is just a sick style car, amazing style... even the cl i think it looks very nice.
the s55 and e55 are more classy but yet you can tell that car got juice
I think I would go for the M cars.
This is hard Mike!!! :D
CK6Speed 06-08-05, 05:46 AM Style wise I'd choose the AMG Mercedes cars. Otherwise I voted for the M Class cars. The E46 and E39 M cars is bar far my favorite. Currently, I'd still pick the E60 M5 just because I recently saw a video of a test drive of the M5 and that car is simply awsome.
Gojirra99 06-08-05, 06:15 AM From a pure driving perspective, I prefer the M, & l admire the NA V10 & I6 more than the turbo/supercharged AMG's, but the Benz's look better & the only passable BMW stylewise is the M6. The M3 looks good but I see too many 3 series I start to get sick of it.
It's tough, but based on the # of choices available, I have to vote for the AMG's. The SL55/65, CL/55/65 are my favourites.
Here's my hands down favourite (even though it is very common):

D2-AUTOSPORT 06-08-05, 09:10 AM I have to go with AMG on this one. I love M cars etc, but a twin turbo V-12 with 738lb ft of torque ownz me and everyone else too! LOL

hahaha though soon enough there will be a lot of 525 on the road too :)
Sick, I think you should leave Lexus out since it's currently non-existent :sad: (until hybrids come out?) and you're on the subject of super duper power :thumbup:
I'll take the CL AMG (55/65/even 600) please :eek2:
No M7 yet huh? :D
Since I already have an AMG I am a little biased, but I would love to have an SL65 or CL65...
I would also love a BMW M5, Audi RS4/6 and for some reason the Cadillac is growing on me...I have seen a few in person and they look pretty good and are a rare sight.
I saw a Volvo R the other day and tried to get it to dance but it wouldn't...looked pretty good for a Volvo.
lkirchner 06-08-05, 02:39 PM :woot: :woot: :woot: I am also biased since I have three AMG 55's. I did drive a CL65 before buying my SL55 and the car is scary. The 55 power is plenty for me.

///M anyday :D i just love the ///M5
whoster 06-08-05, 10:43 PM SL65 V12 BiTurbo
739lb-feet of torque,
runs high-11 quarter miles out from the dealer parking lot, with the AC on.
of course the McLaren SLR sounds like an old prop-fighter (Spitfire anyone?)
but the SL65 is so much more practical :D
RNM GS3 06-08-05, 10:54 PM CL 55/65 AMG without question :thumbup: :thumbup:
This car has it all..........Its big, comfortable, luxurious, timeless design and its also FAST AS HELL.
I would get some 20s and the Kleeman bodykit = my dream car. :woohoo:
fireballs gs400 06-08-05, 11:03 PM I looked at a v-series cts the other day, and I loved that car!!! I am taking a test drive tomorrow. Easy to mod, over 500 hp for literally a few thousand...cams, exhaust, headers...Even more with head work. Throw a vortec on it....all for a third of the other cars on the list in the 550-700hp range. Interior is so so to say the least...But I am gonna try out all six gears tomorrow. :p
And gm's rebate also!!!!
Gojirra99 06-09-05, 06:11 AM I'd still pick M3 over the C55, no SLK nor CLK AMG's for me :thumbdn: , but the other AMG's over the rest of the M's.

we think so similar dude ;)
SoCalSC4 06-09-05, 04:05 PM Did we forget about the Mercedes CLS 55?
Here's one that Wheel Experts did: Looks killer on 20s (4" lip on the back)
I'll custom paint mine Ferrari Tour de France Blue, thank you...

the CLS55 AMG is a HOT car.
it's faster around a track than the Aston Martin Vanquish S.
it's only slower than the Ferrari 575 GTC by like a fraction of a second.
and it's got 4 REAL SEATS.
it's a "practical" fast car :D
soemone left out honda's type R line up in there :D
i voted for M just becuase M6 is pure sex
today a silver cls55 pulled up side to side with me, mand, that's such a sweet car. it looks awesome :)
Gojirra99 06-09-05, 10:40 PM today a silver cls55 pulled up side to side with me, mand, that's such a sweet car. it looks awesome :)
The CLS is starting to grow on me too, I might even take it over a comparable E class now, but still not among my favourite Benz's yet . . .
Premiersf 06-09-05, 11:43 PM I right now have a 2003 Jaguar S-type R and a 2001 Mercedes Benz CLK 55 AMG with Brabus 5 spoke rims...2 weekends we raced them down I-229 here in Sioux falls..and the 390 hp Jag pulled away about a half a car from the AMG...
I was impressed...The Type R is quick and smooth while the AMG is more like a stanard sports car...So I would have to pick the Type R....
If someone could tell how to post pics I will....

we would love to see pics of your car!!!!
but i agree that the clk55 is weak coz' of the NA v8.
whoster 06-10-05, 01:49 AM MBZ CLS55AMG + Airmatic DC 2 Sport Setting - Traction Control = :D :D :thumbup: :thumbup:
...2 weekends we raced them down I-229 here in Sioux falls..and the 390 hp Jag pulled away about a half a car from the AMG...
Of course the Jag will beat the W208 CLK55... You would have a better time with a C55, not to mention an E55.
technol 06-11-05, 12:37 PM that black CLS is so h0t~!!
The CL55 still holds a special place for me... damn that is a hot car.
The CLS55 is growing on me though... :thumbup:
you prefer the cl55 over the sl55?
very true that if it's not all the problems on the car, we would have thought hard on the sl500
Gojirra99 06-13-05, 08:13 AM you prefer the cl55 over the sl55?
I won't mind either one. ;)
The CL actually looks better than the SL at certain angles, I like the rear of the CL more as well as it's side profile. The SL's side profile is not that good with the top up & so is the taillights. The 2 weighs about the same & so is their performance. It's the convertible hardtop versus the useful rear seats AFAIC. As rear seats aren't important to me for now, so if I have to pick between the 2, I'd pick the SL, but I'd be happy with either. :D

:) I have both and it is a real toss up. Of the 2 the CL 55 is more graceful and the SL55 is more powerful. There is a difference in the exhaust on the SL that makes it sound meaner. The gearing on the SL is lower 2.82:1 versus 2,65:1 on the CL which makes for quicker acceleration. As for appearance I think in their own way each one has has qualities that the other one does not have. I love the appearances of both but get more thumbs up in the SL.
TJW98LS 06-13-05, 11:08 AM I really like the Audi RS6 and the new S4s, but I have to say those AMGs are fast.

very nice man :) now that's supercharged v8 power at its best :)
it's incredible knowing that the rear brakes are actually still working hard trying to stop the car
xknowonex 06-15-05, 03:16 PM If had that kinda money Id build a 600+ hp Lexus with an audiophile grade stereo AND HRE wheels. After that Id have extra money for maybe a Lexus SUV
D2-AUTOSPORT 06-15-05, 03:36 PM The CL55 still holds a special place for me... damn that is a hot car.
The CLS55 is growing on me though... :thumbup:
I have to agree on both items. The CL55 is just the best of everything, grace, class, power, I love them too
:thumbup:
