'Well thanks for all your contributions although some of you may not have experienced an srt8. Forget the 5.7 - it's like a wizened old man in comparison!!
If any of you like luxury, space and speed, this is it. 0-60 in 5.0 secs, 168mph top speed.
Having a 6.1 engine it has an enormous amount of grunt, especially when you are going fast already. Followed an M3 at a ton, flashed him out of the way. He pulled over and accelerated - sorry M3's - he was wasting his time.
Up behind a TVR who was following a slower car in front. I heard the TYVR drop a gear as the guy in front of him was about to pull in to the left lane. As he did so, both the TVR and myself both hit the gas. either he bottled out or was outrun but at 120mph he'd had it! Don't forget, from 120 to 150mph+ is absolutely effortless in the SRT8.
Same thing with a Porsche 911. I don't know which model it was, (i do know it wasn't the turbo as i have great respect for them. However, cruising at 85mph he came up fairly fast and then the same sort of thing as above - he had to sit behind some old codger. After codger had pulled in we were off. Sorry 911's, it doesn't seem you'll outrun the SRT8. He lost hands down.
I don't think any of the driver expected to be beaten by an estate car!'

Moving into the
"Well I know a millionaire who shops in Primark and drives a 12 year old peugeot"
"Well I know a Multi-millionaire that visits soup kitchens and walks everywhere in shoes he inherited from a distance wealthy relative 30 years ago"
The Rich by association thing makes me cringe

He actually lives under a bridge in Blackburn drinking meths most of the day. He just knows how to play the system hence the Phantom.
The fella I know who drives this car is actually a billionaire - fact.

I have a client who is a multi-millionaire. He lives in an apartment with views of the Sydney Opera house and harbour bridge, drives a brand new AMG Merc and has (as in actually owns) his own helicopter.

I am the only person on PH who doesn't know any millionaires so can't comment on the first part but I know that everyone on benefits has at least a white 14 plate audi.
