Benzs are too heavy, just because it has power than the Modena doesn't mean much.

That tire size and wheel combo does not look like a safe combination. The wheel is about 3-4 inches too wide for the tire cross section.

Weight can't just be overcome by adding more and more power. Have seen a test of the S65 AMG and the driver (race driver) was not really ejoying the ride. More, he just said it was frightening and the big benz is only: 'another sleek display of wealth'.

Yes sure, the Modena is expensive too, but beeing light weight and race proven is a better car to drive.

BTW this benz 'll be more expensive than a Modena.

It's a Kleemann tuner car with wheels and tires installed by them not Mercedes Benz. I have never seen MB install OEM wheels and tires with that type of combo.

So what? People would still give more respect to a Ferrari than a Benz.

I still think I would rather have a 360 Modena, or maybe even a Ford GT :-p than a souped up Benz
