Superior. I’m assuming English isn’t your first language.

I fear any response may get caught up in what I truly despise about Pistonheads, and perhaps forums in general.

Anyway, with an aim to getting this back on topic, I am amazed that in reading every post in mine pages, no one has really focussed in on the ‘20’ number, although some have got close.

A company like Prindiville are in the market to sell to affluent collectors, and I have no issue with that.

Would I buy this to hack about in everyday? Hmm, probably not, I have my CL600 for that. Would I buy this to put away in the garage as an investment. Hmm, judging by the results we are seeing for the AMG cars in the RM ‘Youngtimer’ sales, if I had the money right now , I would say yes. Ditto a 507 Estate.

The pre-f cars are far superior, to my eyes, visually, the post-f cars are just that much more Q.

I ran a pre-f PPP for several years, and despite other cars in my garage, I’d probably say it’s the best I have owned. As others have intimated on here, it’s the reward all day every day you get with the AMG, that you just don’t get with a BMW. And I am a big BMW fan.

Whilst I think I would have preferred the MCT gearbox, and updated interior (sport+ most of all), the looks of the pre-f triumphed. It had Bluetooth, and the HK sound, that’s all I needed from my interior.

Indeed they are small inside. Those seats, truly the most comfortable, do rob the rear of a lot of space, especially if you have a baby in the back, which I did.

Will I buy another one? For sure!

It's not, it's my sixth.

I think you need to answer the question rather than skate around. Quite how you can say a Mustang is "superior" to the C63 is beyond me.

It is newer though so I will give you that.
