Completing the S60R

Shame you sold it Chris but completely agree on the Gtr.
My mate has just chopped in his r8 v10 plus for a 14 reg gtr with stage one.
It's on a different level!!

That's 2 of my mates rocking gtr's.
I give up!!

Just had a chat with my brother in law, he's a salesman at the Merc dealer in Pompy. He's gonna keep and eye out for any good deals on AMG stuff.

My man with the gtr had an c63amg in 2013. The noise is lovely but they do have issues.

Well both c63's I know of used to chuck regular wobblers. Random warning lights & error messages advising to take to a dealer. Would imagine it would be expensive if out of warranty.
My mate drove all the way to the ring only for it to throw a hissy fit when esp & tracs was turned off to do its first lap. It was the final straw & he got rid.
But the noise, oh the noise was pure sex. I preferred it to his r8 & the gtr.

AMGs are great cars I used to demo them at MB world, great noise and they drift for fun, as an everyday going to shops car, I think there are better options, lots and lots of electrical gremilins and they used to eat tyres, on the limit they are a handful and really quite scary. But the noise is probably the best available. They are a great second hand bargain as the depreciation is eye watering. Did I mention the noise..

GTRs are amazing but cheap and nasty inside and running costs are mmmmmmm well I hope you have deep pockets
Audi R8 are probably the best 'super car' available for day to day use, not very practical thou

Personally I would go BMW M5 F10, but that's me, sensible and a little boring. Unless people know what it is then it's just a 5series
