How do you like the 305 tires on those 11.5J wheels?

Ahhh, The Ford... One day, I will get the ***** to buy somthing with preformance like that...

The 305's are awesome, They love to steer the car out of control in even the smallest of rut's in the road. But I love the way they look.

same thing happened to me two days ago... i was about 20 feet behind an SL 55 AMG at about 80-90 mph, just following, and before i knew it i was trying to pass him and we were both going neck and neck, but i was still passing him. i really started to pull away around 100 plus, i think i hit about 145 for a bout a second or so and by then he was about 100 feet behind me in the rear view mirror. we both exited the next exit and he waved goodbye.

I think the E55 with the same motor is much lighter and faster.
I played around with Duane in his and it seemed way faster than the CLS55

Beautiful cars all. Nice Shawn. And when y'all talk about pulling from 100, going to 145, etc. on a "highway," I know that's really just a euphimism for rolling down the straightaway that felt like a highway after exiting the twisties at your last track day, and the "exit" was just the turn onto pit road . . . - Russ

For having aftermarket rims, your cayenne looks great without being lowered imo

He had temp tags to boot lol. Nice way to break his car in

the reason why the CLS was driven that way is due to superior mercedes engineering, which means no breakin period required.

special thanks to my dear friend Shawn

the handling is so nice on the 997s...how do you compare with 996tt (lets say a 2002)
also i can special order a color on 997 not 996tt.

maybe i will just stay with my orginal plan 996tt..because there are 2 air holess on the rear fenders...maybe thats why make the 996tt looks better than the 997s...
plus i dont want to see 997s drop a big number after 2,3 years,,..
