Also equipped with the highest revving engine and fastest-operating soft top

Thanks for your responses, guys, I thought y'all would enjoy this!

I've got a few more videos from the day of the GT and RS6 starting and driving off, but I need to compress them and upload them somewhere. What do you guys use to encode AVI files into DivX? Will there be noticeable sound quality loss with DivX?

Oh, and you guys are always welcome to visit me in Germany to see and experience these cars and the Ring for yourselves

Cheers,

Yeah I bet Carerra GT owners are constantly troubling themselves with thoughts of practicality.

Hi Robin,

Is this is the same Horst with whom we had dinner at Sabine's place after you, Soeren, and I got together on my last trip to the Ring? I remember his saying about the AMG SL mule he was topspeed testing -- with some 650 hp? -- "yes, well, it's a nice car."

What a life!

There's a Carrera GT in Oregon, of all places. What I liked about it was that on Saturday, I saw it parked three houses down from the house of a friend of mine, with bug splatters all over the front of it. On Sunday, it was at PIR, immaculate, as a show car for a track event. The guy seems to actually drive it. Then again, he also owns an Enzo and F55... Lucky man.

Thanks for the post. It's great.

Best,
CBender

If you look closely, you'll see that the RS6 is equipped with a rollcage that eliminates the backseat and kills much of the trunk space

But yeah, you could say that it's quite a bargain compared to some of the others.
