    Just wave or something, I'm friendly to that.
    LP has being inside for the past five days (too much rain). Only 1200km so far, not even ready for the initial 2000km oil change. However, I'm driving it more now that I have sold my SL600.

    hmm, pretty quick. Of course all on a closed road eh?

    I'd hope the 430's speedo is more accurate than my 348's - 15% optimistic at medium speeds, not sure what it'd be at high speeds.

    Always a "closed" road..lol.. The 430 you can run up to that 300 mark anywhere fast.. It's very stable compared to the 360.. I was always off the gas by 270 in the 360 and you needed lots of room.. The 360 floats more, very ass lose.. Not a fun car to drive fast.. If you keep it around the 180-220 mark it's ok.. I really can't wait for the next little run you have in Van.. Should be a great time.. Let's see if I can hold point??

    ahh yes - lots of "closed" roads there. Those Albertans look like they have a lot of fun with their cars. 430 sounds like a beast! And that picture in the other thread - gak, scary! reminds me of an old SciFi 70's movie. perfect for blowing off weak V10 Lambo's :)

    Wow, why?

    You said you had some RENNtech goodies on it, too! Shame. 600s and AMGs are known as "torque monsters".

    Hate those rims on that M5. I've seen a white one before, with clear tailights, looked horrible. IMO

    Nice spots nonetheless.

    She's gone...Renntech SL600: 625 hp & 745 lb-ft. I don't like automatic transmission in a sports car. So I decided the Murcie will be the only one.

    LP is still the special "fair weather" car. My daily will be the S550 when it arrives in April.

    The S is a 7 speed auto; very quiet and comfortable for everyday driving. The LP640 has very stiff shocks/suspension, and I feel every crack and ripple on the road. With all the pot holes and contruction, Vancouver roads right now are terrible for that car. If I drove the LP as my daily driver, I would definitely need to tune up my kidneys with every oil change :)
