What stood out the most was the size of the brake rotors. You could probably stop a freight train with them. They're just huge.

The guy was driving awfully slow, though. Either he was afraid of the car, or he was a MB salesman making a home delivery.

i saw a silver one couple weeks ago. I thought those gunmetal AMG rims are pimp

oh yeah definetely . . .

in the past WEEK, i have seen:

Plymouth Prowler
MB SL65AMG
Maybach 62
MB CLS 500 (today)
Ferrari (dunno which one, but it was DEFINITELY a ferrari)
BMW z8
 
Most people who post here know nothing about cars .They don't even care. So all these LA folks who think they see exotics every 5 seconds probably just can't tell the difference.

LA person: "Woah! A Ferrari 430!"
Me: "That's a Camaro.. a 6 cylinder."
LA person: "But.... it's red... and pointy..."
 
I wouldn't say that Denver, CO is at the same level as LA but I see a pretty fair share of exotics & expensive cars on a regular basis here as well. Almost regularly see Dodge Viper SRT/10s, Ferraris (there's a Ferrari dealership in town), the occasional Lamborghini, and I've even seen a few Lotuses. Oh almost forgot the Porsche Carrera GT2 I've seen several times, sweet car.

I understand TechnoKid- anyone who enjoys cars as much will remember those details. I could tell you the first time what it felt like to see a Maybach (62) and a SLR (Silver, first one in the US bought for over a million.) Its hard to explain, but looking at a CL65 does something to me-it makes me work that much harder so I can get to that level where I can spend $180k on a secondary car. I know its a little weird, but theres nothing wrong with motivation🙂

The color is called Pewter. Silver with a somewhat beige tint. Nice color, but a little too common today and more sedate. Looks nice on the new E though.

All you people should go to a race sometime. You're literally surounded by fields of exotics, and all of a sudden they don't feel so exotic anymore.

Amol - the definition of a stallion and that of a mustangs need not be mutually exclusive.
