I think it's a battle between M and AMG because RS makes one car every few years, I hate that!!!!

I'll give my vote to AMG, I really love the SL and other AMG's....BTW, that doesn't mean I don't like M-Power!!! LOL

Re: Best High performance brand within a brand??? - 12-24-2005, 02:00 PM

I would say M & RS cars equal in my book ... .. M cars are my favourite in driving dynamics followed closely by the RS cars ... while AMG are nice .. but when i think of their current price range .. it is rediciouls to pay such amount for a sedan or whatever that mainly has only an engine upgrade from its entry level model .. and its very close to prices of supercars or even more expensive... so to me in AMG u almost pay for the engine not the entire car .. while this is not the case for M & RS cars .. and thats maybe why we see AMG cars are coming soo soon after the debut of the base model .. while M & RS takes ages to reach the market .. in other words
1. M power
2. RS
3. AMG

Yeah I voted for M but it's very close betwen that and Audi's stuff. AMG is way down below though.

RS comes second place on my list. I always loved RS cars but since the new RS4 came I can really feel them breathing behind M. New RS4 dont have a turbo, instead its a high-reeving car just like M. Now they also use a stick and not another boring Automatic.

911 there is no substitute:

Ok, I honestly have never driven an M or AMG or RS car so my opinion doesnt really count. My dad who recently picked up an M5 still cannot admit he likes that car better than our 993 turbo. Now I think there is something to say about a car thats 8 years old and is still fun as hell where my dad (whos loves BMW) can't admit that the new M5 is better.

The 993 turbo is said to be the best 911 ever produced and there are enthusiasts buying the car today for up to 80k. It seem like the car is pretty damn good and fun to drive.

A little bit off-topic but I doubt the new 997 TT will rip a hole into SLR

HP isn't everything. The 997 TT will be a far ligther car, and i'm sure it will have some weight solutions as well already implemented into its design. If the stock car isn't enough, then for sure a modded one will be, have comfort in knowing that

still waiting for the rain to clear up so that I can go out and drive an E60 M5 and give you guys my verdict, whatever validity it holds.

Sportauto lap time:

Porsche 911 GT2 (462hp) ------------------------------ 7.46 min

Mercedes SLR ------------------------------------------- 7.52 min


The 997TT will pack 480-500hp and be without a doubt be a better car than the 996GT2, which is quicker around the track than the SLR. Therefor I have no doubts that my signature will become a reality .
