This one is more helpful, lowered on spacers How can you resist that?

Actually I think this one got the rear wheels on the front! And you got to have 4 tailpipes on a Benz!

That's because you can't buy this yet, I think I would still rather have a 500+ hp LS-F over a S63.

I think you should get a F10 M5. Never really a big fan of MB. Let me know if you want me to find some inspirational pictures. You're welcome.

I know, most importantly is the V12 smoothness. Power is cheap and easy, now a days you get that much power and torque from $50k American muscle cars (GT500, ZL1)

The bad thing is It comes with German's electronics too. It is an awesome car when everything works

I hate hassles so it must have tons of prestige and brand status to worth it for me to deal with the German's electronics. It must be at least a Ghost or Mulsanne.
