They are great handling, dont get me wrong. They were just too hyped up to begin with.

I was not impressed.

only 320 that would beat me on paper would be the SLK 320 the others are too slow ( not top speed though)

Who gives a fuck stop banging on about beating bigger cars etc if you have a 106gti or punto gt or corsa who gives a flying fuck if you can beat a merc the merc driver has more comfy seats

@ Tom and lots of toys to play with. Still not a Merc fan though. Would rather an Audi or BMW personnally.
AS for ST170 Focus, after thrashing one round trax and gaining at a good rate going down hanger straight, my opinions changed to, pwwww, there pants
This was later confirmed after a few good blats with 170's round my local area

Rather an Audi but that wasn't my point
I get sick of people banging on about how there car is faster than this or that when in relaity the people who own these 'big mercs' proly don't give a flying fuck as they could just as easily go and buy themselves a punto gt if they fancied one

doubt the missus would even notice a turbo punto, or whatever trying to race... she'd be too busy singing along tina turner stylee to some tunes
