    i guess my vote goes for MB judging on the above choices i made as well as my general preference for the better car company.

    Nod to Merc

    Own both and both have their good points. Porsche (911 - 98 Cabriolet) tremendously fun to drive, but without a doubt a lesser quality automobile and way too many shortcomings for the amount of money.

    just to let you know (even though ive said it on more than one occasion) it wasnt the CLK-GTR that flipped it was the CLR.
    they were based upon eachother were they not?

    are my choices.
    I'd say SL500, SL 55 AMG has been altered, then you could do the brabus Cayenne....

    you mean the CLR...the CLK GTR won every race (its debut season) in LM except for one were both cars ended up retiring. so explain to me how a faulty engineered car could win all those races if it took off whenever it reached higher speeds.
    the CLR i believe was introduced 1 to 2 years down the road after the CLK GTR was.
