Oh and by the way, for the man who talk about something about "bigger isn't generally better because of more reciprocating mass" If you're purchasing a Mercedes then you are not exactly worried about having more mass. Silly heavy German cars. For decreasing weight and having real fun, go Lotus all the way. Lotus Elise/Exige = 1800 lbs, 190hp but can still compete with 911, Corvette, Viper around the track. Lick the skidmarks off of my underwear.
