Thanks Wolf for this.... I like CarWow and Matt alot. They just do silly races and he has funny dialogue and add ins. Further, we get a general view of the cars from a street view and roll. 11.1 is pretty good for the GT63S and all its weight- I do believe the gearing and tq splits or lack of them helped the Merc while the RS7 continues to suffer from parasitic loss thru the gears. But it always has had that issue(Ive owned 2) and that indeed can be remedied by a tune. The car responds to mods well and IMHO its the better looker than the GT63S although Im biased with previous ownership. The ZF8 is the same or similar as my F90 M5 but BMW does a better job with its TCU programming and drive train adjustments.. The Merc is a polarizing chunk of metal to say the least.
