😉 Sorry, I had to!

It will never be outside except when being driven.

The biggest concern I have is how low it is. It will easily hit any parking barriers and scratch the hell out of the bottom.

Get the bottom of the front sprayed with Line-X from a quality installer. They can spray it on smoothly and in the color you want. It's awesome for protecting your front lip against curbs.

Thanks for the info Apex. Is there any easy way to see where you can get it done? Or do I just need to call around?

I got mine done in California, that's probably not going to help you. They have distributors everywhere though.

Mine costed $110 to do, and they did a great job. Very clean, and black is easy to match. I've scratched it HARD a couple times on cement, and it's hard to even see where it hit. PM me if you want to see pictures of it.

NOT faster than alot of things out there.

But I'm thinking this car is more for use as a status symbol than for performance.

just because there are super cars ouit there that are faster than it doesn't make its 0-60 in 4.5 extremely respectable 😉

So the one guy asked what Qosis does for a living and Zim asked him if he's kidding.

I'm confused. Does everyone know about Qosis' life except for me and that other guy?

I don't want to criticize anyone, I'm just curious.

There's a major difference between a Mustang and a Mercedes. Trust me, I've got both.

I'm a student, so I don't hold a steady job during the summer. I do have a decent amount of money from stuff I have done in the past, however. The remainder of it came from my parents. Nik makes a point of criticizing my family because we don't make minimum wage, and because we are socially irresponsible in some way by running a profitable company. (He thinks employees should make the same amount as owners, even if the owner has millions tied up in the company in capital.)

Ya, I mean, they're in the exact same price range! 😉

 

[maziwanka]

all i care about is the pictures you must show (and that you are purchasing the car because it is truly what you want - which it seems like it is)...

let the happy times roll...

Why else would someone purchase the car if they didn't truly want it?

Drive responsibly = within speed limit.
Driving with speed limit = not enjoying beast.

So I don't get how you can enjoy the car legally.

NEVER!

SLK55 AMG-12.8@109
http://motortrend.com/roadtests/coupe/112_0504_stars/index5.html

E55 AMG-12.4@116.2
http://motortrend.com/roadtests/luxury/112_0412_bmw_mb/index7.html

and lets not forget the S65 AMG which shares the engine of the Cl65 AMG

and then theres the CLS55 AMG which uses the same engine as the E55 but weighs less...

and then there are the plain _600s which can do ~12.5@115
http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp...on_id=15&article_id=6741&page_number=3

there could be more but I'm too tired to look now

Hmm, I recall when I spoke to the dealer we were discussing it and he was mentioning that the SLK was faster than all but those two cars. Guess he was lying! 😛

But hey, 0-60 in 4.5 is just fine!

Well, if you read carefully you will see that I didn't say that.

Its a GTO, and its not as cool as the SLK, but I don't care. I'd not own an SLK on a bet. 🙂

No. Responsibilty means know your machine.

Any enthusiast could toss that thing into a house at 35 Mph. Heck, I'd put money down that most (9/10) on this board could not handle that car. Their too used to "petal to the metal no matter what.....250 HP is seriously strong!!!!"
