i was checking the numbers, i’d go with the TT V12, it makes 590 ftlbs to the v8’s 516 ft lbs. also the super v8 hp is rated at 6100 where the TTv12 is at 5000 rpms. ---

Wait for the SLR. We already have two people in Pittsburgh with down payments on them ($50,000). No matter which one you choose it will be in the shop for something breaking. Just ask Bettis and Ward. ---

Did anyone see the C-class at the show? It’s the cheapest MB w/ like a tuner package on it. I ckd it out here in the showroom, it wasn’t too bad as far as the factory trying to appeal to the younger crowd. ---
