What utterly shocked and surprised me is you absolutely do not feel the weight in the CLK BS. It honestly felt like a 3,000lb car. Now, I know physics are physics and 3,800lb CLK BS is going to have an effect racing against a 3,200lb GT3, but it was really amazing how MB masked the weight of the car.

It would be a heck of a race. Maybe, we can get Ritesh to run his GT3 at a future track event and I'll talk my neighbor into letting me run a session against him.

It's the same way the GT-R masks it weight. Yet, people who haven't driven it love to harp about that.

Why is the automotive industry not obeying the laws of physics?!?! haha just shows how technology was improved, which is not a bad thing. Now if a car company could make a car under 3000lbs with the necessary tech with a reasonable price tag...

haha wishful thinking

And those that haven't driven it also love to harp about how it's God's chariot...?

It's amazing the people that talk crap without having even seen the car in person, much less driven it.

The hate the GT-R receives from people that haven't even seen it in person much less driven it is astounding.
