I don't remember how many times I rewinded the VCR just to watch this scene over, and over again. The 928 is the coolest car ever built, at least in my life time.

While I LOVE 928's and think they are AWESOME cars, I certainly wouldn't put them in the same league as the McLaren F1 or the SL65 AMG Black... Of course those are HYPER cars, they are FAR beyond the Supercar status of a 928, but still, I would put those cars at the top of my "if I had all the money" list!

I have to say, Joel has the slowest 928 in history. It takes his 928 two minutes to lose a car that is 5000 lbs and powered by a 140 hp motor.

I could do better than that in a Tempo.

I saw the Top Gear segment on the S65 Black. None for me thank you. We have an S65AMG here at the office. That is fun but just too big. The CLK 63 AMG we have is much more fun to zip around in to do errands!

S and SL are totally different beasts bro... I thought Jeremy liked the SL65 Black pretty well, but he didn't like the price difference between it and a regular SL65AMG...the black was more than 2X the cost of the regular SL65AMG. You are right...the S65 is a HUGE sedan. I drove a CLK55AMG on track back right after they came out...what a NEAT car that was! F-A-S-T comfortable, good grip, felt heavy...well, it IS heavy, but it felt it too...

Well, all I know is that if I am ever being chased by a "killer pimp", I will be happy to be in my 928!!

I watched this a about a month ago on Netflix. I thought it was an awful chase scene. It took him forever to lose him It was a poor representation I thought. I think the Black on in weird science shows the car off the cars look and i believe they spin out if I remember.
