Gentlemen it's been nice chatting with you. I'm driving my McLaren to the airport for a jaunt in my plane to Monaco where I'm hosting a charity fashion event. Of course, for my European trips I use my Veyron that I keep garaged there. I'll spend the night with a couple of lovely women from either Ukraine or Norway (not sure which yet) and then will return. Geaux Tigers.

Does the CLS have the same M177 engine but tuned higher?

I ordered mine. As long as you don't go crazy with the options, I think the prices are reasonable. But I got a 2017. The 18's came out not too long after and I'm sure the base MSRPs went up some. I'm sure the Audi is nice, but they just don't seem to do it for me

The CLS 63 has the M157 which is the AMG variation of the M278.

There is a video (I’ll try to find it on YouTube) of the factory driver for koningsegg in his personal mx5 killing a GT3 at Nurburgring.

I waiting for MB to release the E400 wagon with portal axles. It looks like a luxury Rally Fighter.

You said you're driving an S5 right?

For me it was between a C63 or RS5. Then I did a bit of research and found out they undertuned the 2015 S5s BIG time. Ordered my S5 with the dual clutch tranny and black optic package. Took it to an APR tuner and had the stage 1 upgrade. Sitting at 454 HP right now

She paid $105K for hers. The throat on that car is incredible. I expected a quiet car however the engine/exhaust is unbelievable. Sounds like an American V8 when you're on it. Fast as hell and the handling is fantastic.

Haven't seen that one. Sabine Schmitz could probably start 30 second behind in a Miata with me in a GT2 RS and pass me before we came out of the Fox Hole.

YOu may be waiting a while. The All Terrain 4x4 squared is just a fun exercise as of now. But its is mega cool but I actually think the CLS Shooting Brake is cooler, even cooler than that is the Ferrari GTC4Lusso particularly the V12 version.



Reminds me of the Ferrari 250 GT Breadvan




BTW the All Terrain 4x4 squared for those that haven't seen it

Looking at used M4's. Seems like their prices are holding up well. 2015 asking prices $48-53K. I was hoping around low 40's.

I've never really been a BMW fan but those are some damn good looking cars with the performance to match.

I’ll be car free for another few years so hopefully they will have portals under everything by then. To get any dream car closer to reality, it has to have 4 seats. I’ve grown to appreciate the 2+2 Ferraris, even the 456. I saw a guy driving with 2 kids in the back of a 612 the other day and they didn’t look too miserable. I like the FF a lot, but the GTC puts its to shame.

You're asking about creatures who are materialistic about expensive jewelry, clothes, houses, vacations, boots, phones, gyms, landscaping, cosmetics, handbags, wallets, underwear, coffee, dinners...

There is a red Ferrari FF near my buddy's house in McKinney. I thought I would hate it but the lines flowed well.

I'm drooling over all of the 63/65 cars, but the depreciation is brutal.
