I still feel front engine cars are at a disadvantage though for many reasons not related to laptimes. like view out the windshield, ride quality, turn in feel. the fastest front engine road car on the ring is ranked 10th. Chevy gave up trying to make a front engine design work and went to mid engine on the vette.

I remember when it first came out thinking it was clearly a run at the 911. I am a huge Porsche fan but I do lust after the MB. I think they look a bit like a 911 on steroids (coupe) and I love that they are a lot less common than the 911. MB has serious depreciation issues which is a bit of a concern, but on the other hand you might pick up a great used example for a decent price. Decisions.
