I love Merc's and other than a Brabus there's no other car I'd rather own than an E55 or CL65

Adscapri...i have had the XJR straight 6 and the V8 version...ant this is quicker remember it has more torque...and past 110mph it would annilate one due to a much better aerodynmic CD figure of 0.29 plus 200kilos less weight....apparently they got one of these to 60 in 4.9 seconds the Jags best was 5.2 seconds not alot in it really LOL

I guess because the merc feels so much more hardcore i guess its what make it fell quicker its much more raw...the missus has already said the suspension is too hard i guess i could agree as you wince going over not so smooth ground ...the jag handled well but if you pushed it the softer suspension allowed too much roll...this just feels so much better.

Phil, reason I ask is that these German cars are so well built when your doing over a 120mph for example it feels as if your doing half the speed. Certainly that way with my Porsche.

VFR's are good reliable bikes, you'll be raping it all the time though after stepping down from a 1000cc to 400.
