Welcome.

Out of all of those great cars, which one do you like driving most?

Welcome Mr. President, Sir! What a nice stable you have. And no F or L cars?

Each is a different animal. For pure driving sensation the CGT can't be beaten, I'm 6'5" and it's not a very comfortable long distance ride. The GT700 has the purest acceleration sensation, it's breathtaking. The S600 RENNTech is definetly the best sleeper. 11.6@120 in a 5 passenger living room.

I agree, my 04 S600 with 600 HP and 700 ft lb of tq is a screamer with 4 doors. The car is pure acceleration without having to shift and clutch. I raced my friend with his 06 Z06 and had him beat until I let off at 80 MPH.

It's funny, but most people can't comprehend how a car that big goes so fast and does it so quietly!

Check out this video of the S600 at the dragstrip:

Here's more detail on the car:

I like the video of you and the vette. I see on your dash that you had the traction control "OFF". If I have mine off, the tires will have a slight spin off the line.

Welcome and good luck getting your modded 996TT into the "10's"
it has proven to be quite elusive for most.
Your list of cars is amazing, I can at least say I have driven a Continental GT,
and ridden in a CGT for 700 miles (on and off the track) and these two would be
in my stable (along with my 996TT) if "I had the means to do so"...
cheers to a fellow car lover.

That is one impressive MB you have there. I cannot even imagine what it must be like to go that fast in a car like that. I hope it stops as good as it goes.

Yes it better have brakes! (the S600 RT).
the vette sounds awesome but the Benz just makes it look so easy.
How is your GT700 alongside the Benz ??
