The Artist said:hmm did you read my post just me??..
i said i love its non flashy design..ohh well
GTA7.5 said:I agree! The Porsche Carrera GT just doesn`t have that exotic flavor.
I`ve said this before, the Mercedes SLR just might be the first German exotic.
Porsche cars are fast, good drivers cars but thay are not exotic.
AMG-UNIT said:the SLR is a masterpiece but the CGT is just another porsche .

TycoonGTR said:Haha! Yeah right!You have no idea what are you talking about!![]()

AMG-UNIT said:No , I know exactly what Im talking about . The CGT is just too plain to me , especially after I saw it at the L.A auto show , it looks like the design came from somewhere in the 90s , and they just added on those futuristic alien headlamps and rear flashes . Performance aside , I already know what CGT is capable of . As a matter of fact , even with that V10 and little bit over 3000 lbs , the CGT cannot match the speed of a 3800 pounder with a supercharged V8 like the SLR . So dont give the CGT all that credit , it's not the best german car ever built .
Anyway , back ontopic .
Just_me said:Design is very personal. There are no rights or wrong. We dont always think the same and this is another case were everyone dont think alike
CGT is the ultimate driving machine, even if its not the fastest car in in the world on straightlines (but everything isnt just about acceleration) its simply one of the best supercars on the planet. And not much beat a CGT in handling or driving experience.
AMG-UNIT said:OMG , here we go with the straight line performance again !! Nothing is wrong with the performance of the SLR , it performs stunningly . The SLR makes the SL 55 feel like a toyota , and none of those two lack it anyway . Now let me guess , what Just_Me's next reply going to be : (Im glad you to see you admit a Mercedes feels like a toyota ).![]()
Everything isnt just about the Acceleration , but acceleration as well is a very important capability , it's the power on the cover of the book , but when I say the SLR is faster than CGT , it doesnt mean it's weak when the road gets twisty , it's handles incredibly . BTW , isnt it amazing how the SLR is capable of outaccelerating a V10 with 3300 lbs and 600plus hp ?
Nuts!!Just_me said:yes they are, they are more exotic than any MB or BMW
GTA7.5 said:Nice pics but I have to disagree with you on this one. Porsche designs are beautiful designs but the word exotic means: striking different, out of the ordinary or very unusual!
Lamborghini and Ferrari designs fit this example quit well. The SLR is right up there with the strikingly different and unusual! I don`t believe you can say that about Porsche. Thats my opinion.
Carbon said:In Road & Track magazine, they have the Porsche listed as 0-60 mph in 3.6 vs. 3.5 for the SLR and then 0-100 mph is 7.0 seconds for the Porsche vs. 7.5 for the SLR. In 1/4 mile times the CGT gets 11.3@131.6 mph while the SLR gets 11.5@126.1 mph (slower trap speed). What numbers is the statement that the SLR accelerates better based on?
The Carrera GT is a better car than the SLR hands down. There were too many Mercedes-Benz compromises made by the McLaren team working on the car because they had to. I'd gladly drive either car as my own any day of the week, but the Carrera GT is undoubtedly the better driver's car. I think it's one of the best looking supercars out there, so that part of things is definitely subjective.
Hell , I dont know if ever noticed Just_me , but Im not a big fan of the AMGV12 BiTurbo cars , this will hopefully prove to you that Im honest : Those V12 cars are not good handling for what they are , I always enjoy driving my CLS55 , but I didnt enjoy nothing about the CL65 except for the acceleration , I dont know about the new S65 , Im pretty sure they modified the car very strictly , but for the SL and Especially the CL : They dont deserve the V12 Bi Turbo badge . But when I speak of SLR , it's because I drove sat and tested the car , amazingly far too good for anything else Ive ever driven , the SLR doesnt have a clutch , or Sequential manual , but that Speedshift works enough combined with all that balance and carbon fibre .(Im getting carried away)Just_me said:you make it sound like Im bashing SLR, I dont. SLR is fast but it aint the same car as a CGT. I seen comparison where CGT is as fast as SLR and even if a CGT is 0,5 sec slower in acceleration I wont care about it. CGT is too fast for roads anyway and exploring all of it without risking anything is a rare thing. CGT is too fast for most people to handle. Arguing about small acceleration differences between them seem to beNuts!!
CGT is the ultimate driving machine, period. If some people dont think so well thats not my problem.
BTW I saw a video were a SL65 accelerate faster than a SLR. If I want straigtline performance I can buy a SL65 and save some money. Heck, why dont buy a CLK-DTM instead. At least CLK-DTM isnt owned by Paris Hilton![]()
GTA7.5 said:AMG-UNIT, why don`t you test drive the Porsche CGT. You just might like it better, who knows.
AMG-UNIT said:GTA ....... Dont you notice that my taste always starts with the looks ? If I were to care about performance itself I would go for an M5 , but like my cousin is telling he used to pickup more chicks in his white E500 , but he says the drive is amazing .
AMG-UNIT's says :
" CLS 55 /////AMG has beauty that you can see , the ///M5 has beauty you cant see " especially here in L.A , you think anybody gives a f**k about what you have under the hood ?
