Thank you. That 996 is a beaut! Hope you are able to track it down!

That is a beautiful car. So much nicer than the newer BMW grills, just plain awful. IMO

My fun car is a C6 Corvette which I bought new and customized the way I like. It’s lightweight and supercharged for that extra umph many of us like, had very nice, powerful sound system installed for those times I’ll listen to tunes instead the roar of the V8.

Thanks Huncho. They’re quite easy to retrofit - my friend did his last weekend. £199 for the grill and about 3 hours of screwing/unscrewing lol.
I like your colour - is that Palladium Silver?

thanks, i believe it's selenite grey. didn't know you could do that with the grill, that's pretty cool lol. i'm interested to see how the next c class will look, although i don't really like how similar all the new models look now with the rear design. i feel like it's hard to distinguish the different classes now

Two very different cars.

But I’d agree with you, depending on the goal.

I love the C7. And the Z06 is just an animal in all ways. Truly an exceptional car.

The 911 will be more refined and more comfortable. Not nearly as visceral. But a much better daily driver.

If daily, or road trips, I’m 911. If track and weekend fun, I’m camp C7.

Nice! I love that it’s a true car enthusiast vehicle. Most people have no idea it’s the most powerful SUV. But those who know….

It’s a one time production for 2021 and if you have one, your one of the few. It’s already discontinued and the prices have begun to demonstrate this.
Love your color too

I assume you got it for the fuel economy?

Awesome family wagon. I agree pricing will be heading up on these due to awesomeness and rarity.

Damn, now that is an incredible TRX. What a great color scheme as well. What a beast....I thought the DDHC was a pig on gas, this TRX is probably worst! But for $hits and giggles, your two beasts are awesome.

What is it? I don't see any branding anywhere on the grill or wheel center caps. Looks athletic!

I missed this news release back in August and just looked into it. Apparently MB is only making a v8 for the S class in 2022. Since G is only available in V8 they wont be produced in 2022. Citing supply chain. Seems extraordinary to me. Maybe it's time to sell my G63 after all... I love it but not for what they are going for on the used market.

Dodge Durango Hellcat. Only made for 2021 and limited #s. 710hp 3row SUV. 0-60 in claimed 3.5 sec (but people have reported getting slightly quicker) and 180 mph top speed. And….. sh*t fuel economy of course! But it’s sooooo fun. Handles well too for a big SUV

That's really cool and quite a beast. My wife's uncle is one of the owners of the engineering firm that makes some of the carbon fiber components in the Hellcat engine/transmission. I believe some of the shafts in the Hellcat. The primary owner bought one of the first ones for testing when they signed the contract with Dodge and they all just beat the hell out of it on the track.

Ahh badass. I sold my raptor last year (profit helped fund my 997). Boy do I miss that truck but it needed a V8. I have a ram now and like it, so can just imagine how fun yours is. Great color too.

I sorta hope the market stays nuts to keep me from being tempted on a V8 raptor in the next couple years haha.
