If we were as much of an elitist as you're appearing to be, you'd never make it past the threshold.
If you hate the way our house smells, and hate the fact that the tennants are proud to share the same mechanical underpinnings as you.... and if we aren't worthy of the presence of the almighty AMG... why are you still on the couch?
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy having you around the boards and I think you have an incredibly sharp car. I think it's awesome to see another board member from the 'Boro... totally cool. But I am truly shocked at how vehement you're being in regards to someone's pride in the drivetrain. It's an unusual side I haven't seen.
I simply hope you don't buy generic Cheerios... how dare they be round and made of wheat like the real McCoys are.
i have no animosty towards anyone. as for the crossfire vin i cant supply 1.if that was a requirement of joining i wouldnt be here. i would continue with the other amg and m/b forums. of course i havent been saying my car is a crossfire. i have no issues whatsoever with the underpinnings of the car. but for you or anyone with a mercedes that isnt a true amg to imply their car is 1 is false. badge it all you want. but it wont make the srt-6 an amg car. sorry if it offends you but thats how it is.
there is a reason to badge a car amg. or zo6 or shelby or m series. it separates the car from the other styles similar to it. what would you say to someone who badges their xfire limited with all the markings of the srt-6? puts in the srt-6 driveline and interior? is their car then a srt-6? no its still a limited xfire with all the addons
when i buy generic cheerios im aware of what they are. i dont put them in a cheerios box in order to impress
it isnt vehemence towards anyone its a true pride in what i searched for and purchased. i could have bought a vette or porsche or bimmer. i chose the slk32 amg for its rarity and exclusivity.
my question from the start was why would you badge a car amg if it isnt one? simple question. what i got in response was how this car the srt-6 IS just like the 32 and everybit an amg as the 32. well it isnt. and no amount of posts parts and badges will ever make it one. sorry the amg is the high perfomance divison of mercedes not chrysler
having said all this i will continue to follow the threads here and post as needed or asked. i think the srt-6 is a true rare and exclusive car in its own right. i see no need to try to make it something it isnt it can stand on its own.
we simply need to agree to disagree
