just a couple of straight line runs... no twisties as i dont want to get murdered... anyways its a fantastic car and it sounds awesome...

Spoke to the guy afterwards and he told me he was really gunning it, i thought he should have taken me easily... my car is almost stock but has factory sports exhaust and no cats...

hope you can watch it... >>> http://vbox7.com/play:6e1e124b

and heres me shredding my tyres >>> http://vbox7.com/play:4387773f

this was performed on a closed circuit by two proffesional drivers... kids dont try this at home... really

Great runs 700! Hey, whaddup? Long time no see...

I'm amazed how well the amg kept up with the GT3 RS but considering the torque i guess it was kinda obvious. Well done!

It is not at all surprising to me the GT3RS didn't out run you. It is not that light and they do not have that much low end torque. It excels in the twisties and if you went there you would not be able to keep up. Probably wouldn't even keep up with a 997S, but you'd dust it on a straight line. DIfferent cars for different purposes. Both awesome. Love yours!
