From memory he drove it manually on the last run!

Great stuff, these F6's machine's are a weapon, we all knew that they had the time's to pull not like those in the magazine's, but if you are going to get one, Rapid seem's to be the fastest colour out there, lol.

Thats 'FULLY SICK BRO!' the typhoon is the ultimate aussie performance car.

Still have a soft spot for those superseded Mercedes E55 sedans. 5.5l naturally aspirated single cam with 5 speed auto pulling 13.5 seconds. You can buy one for about $80,000.

I personally would probably buy the second hand benz only because it was $200,000 four years ago. Mind over heart I suppose.
