M5. You have no idea until ou sit behind the wheel and drive it. The MB just seems a little dull. (for its respective category)

update!
test drove the M5!! i am loving it!! the SMG III works like a manuel and it does take a little while to get used to it...the car would roll backwards on a hill if you dont put some throttle to the gas paddle. other than that it shifts nice and when the POWER button and EDC is in the SPORT mode, the car just
handle and accelerates like a sports car...and its got lots of space as well..
i was pretty amazed by the test drive...
now i will test drive the Merc CLS55/63...

here's our project CLS 55

http://www.d2autosport.com/D2_2006/0...cts/index.html


If your willing to get a 2 door get a Z06 Vette or a Viper SRT10. Way more wow factor than either of those two cars and faster too

I'm thinking the modded CLS's look better.
Stock for stock it's a tie.
