LOL... My bad Doc. And, yes.... I bet you have been called that a few hundred times in your days. At least you always got the last laugh.

I wish I'd found out it wasn't cool to AMG the Crossfire up a little sooner.

Who cares what badges you have on your car... if your car is faster than my car, I'll respect that... If it has a Honda badge on it and you toast my *** racing, you win

Come on Tom, you know I've had this attitude when I had my SRT I think it's required to work in the IT industry lol. And bring the **** mini, I'll let you lead through 129 coming back from the car wash in robbinsville at night again. My new car has bright *** headlights from the factory

The reality is......... For what ever reason, Chrysler decided to use SRT as a moniker for this model purely as a marketing ploy. They could have just as easily(and justifiably so) have decided to brand it as an ///AMG. Boy, wouldn't that have pissed off the elitist, I got a bigger pencil in my pants than you do guys off?

You and I both know that was never a real option. MB would never allow it and Chrysler would never allow it. Chrysler has too much money in the SRT brand to then plaster AMG all over it. Plus most Americans know what SRT is, but rarely do they know what AMG is.

What exactly is AMG....I would love to know...explain that to me....In 2005 the SRT6, in my case was a $51K car, the same drive trane in a STAR nosed AMG was $90K....other then $40K...what is the difference. Let me tell you dog, having owned Camaros, and Corvettes for years, I was sick and tired of listening to Dentists, Doctors, Lawyers, explaining to me how bad their ZO6's were, and that anyone who owned a Camaro wished they had the money to move up to a Vette. My usual response was, I owned several Camaros before buying my 5th Vette, gentlemen, and my Camaro would kick your snobby asses. I don't see any difference here, so be careful where you tread. I dropped out of that club, and later sold the vette, and I will never own another, unless I can steal a '67 427, 435hp from some unexpecting grandmother who lost her only son, in the war of 1812...hopefully you get my point...cause this drive trane in my car isn't going to change anytime soon...regardless of what Chrysler or MB likes or does not like....or what the MB forum likes or not likes, or what some bullshit secret lounge likes or doesn't like...just the way it is...I'm just glad we can all get along....lol

For the record guys, it's NOT the engine that makes it an AMG... IT'S THE SEAT!!!




No Seat, No Badge! LOL

Ah see this is where I get "all high and mighty". At the end of the day, you may have beaten me in a straight line, but... you're still driving a Honda.

Doc, you're getting me and Steve confused. I don't really care about the lounge. I'm a member, but I've not posted yet. Although, with as many times as you've brought up "the lounge" I'm thinking you're a little jealous.
