SSV vs E63 AMG ..

[Pub247]

really is that why mercedes have the most powerful n/a production v8 in the world?

Edit oh and they go around corners too

wait a minute, how much does that car cost again?

Go find a Mercedes that makes 400hp and costs less the a house.
That's what GM is good at. (And Ford also.)

The stupidity of that makes me wanna bitch slap you lol.

Euro V8's are great motors, but still struggle to do what a GM motor has been doing since Adam was a lad.

Of course they are great motors, but for 100k the ZR1 is beating cars much higher then it's price. I have nothing against pushrods, alluding to the fact that many here think its outdated, yet its beating many cars with much higher tech..

The land speed record is held by a pushrod motor also. Something like a 9.9l TT V8.

Not that Barracuda, that Troy Trapanier built is it Kuzman?

There is more than just straight line speed.

I think you'll find the ZR1 likes going around corners.
Youtube the review Jeremy Clarkson did.

It's a massive misconception that Yanky cars don't handle. Yes some don't but look at the price range the cars that DON"T handle fall in.

Big-block Ferrari sets world speed record

Ahh sorry only 8.8l!!

The ZR1 is phenominal around corners considering its RWD. AND A HELLOVA lot more fun to drive I'd imagine... I want one.

Keeping up with a lamborgini

With the Lambo, you're paying for the badge. Much the same deal with Mercedes.

Chev isn't as prestegious.

 

[jasonsv6]

mm paying for the badge yet i would still kill for one of them RS4's. that 4.2 v8 is esaly one of the best v8 engines ever produced and a relativly modist $170K aus lol
