    The best thing about Chris Harris is he gets to drive the cars we all want to drive. He reviews them with the depth we all would. And he exudes the excitement, joy, passion (and even disappointments) that we would all feel behind the wheel as car guys who love this sort of thing.
    He really is the representative of us all.

One was the Hammer AMG coupe, a sedan, and the estate wagon version. I freaked out when I always see those cars. I had an awesome childhood oh, those were the days.

    @Baby1961-i5e 10 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    If I had just a bit more disposable income to be able to buy my ideal car, I'd go directly to AMG and have them build me an SLS gullwing car, with all the Black Series bits: The extra power, the lighter back-bone, the lighter titanium exhaust, suspension, etc. but without any of the aero bits, so the car retains the subtle gorgeous lines of a standard SLS AMG, which is almost a perfect modern-day interpretation of the Merc 300SL gullwing cars of the 1950s. So basically all the go-faster bits, but without the Black Series aero that makes the car a bit too much boy-racer-ish. Especially that mini GT3 fixed wing on the back. So again, the majority of the performance Black Series bits (i.e. sans the aero bits, but with all the other upgrades) and the clean shape of a standard SLS AMG. And definitely a silver exterior, with a red interior.
    So when my finances finally allow it, that is the exact car I'm going to order. Get ready for my build sheet AMG!

      mornadu Yeah, but I can find a nice pre-owned one in the colors I want, low miles, and they said they can do the treatment on an existing SLS, so I'm good there if I decide that's the treat I want to get. Still up in the air about it, but I'll decide soon.
      It's sad too, because I just don't like the new GT. It looks like a chubby, oddly proportioned Mercedes version of an F-Type. Just my opinion. I'm sure it's a great drive, but it's no SLS.

    • @DoriFord

      DoriFord You cant outright say something isnt beautiful. Entirely subjective. Obviously Sandra thinks it is so if ( or when) she finally gets around to buying it, in her eyes, she'll have bought a beautiful car. Even if you ( or whoever else) thinks it's not. Personally Its middle of the road ( ish) for me but again, entirely subjective.

    • @dvamateur

      Mortalomena Fine, if that's the LFA that does the piping of engine sound into the cabin, that's fine with me. I don't like Lexus, I don't like paddle shifters, and I don't like LCD dashboards, and yet the LFA grew on me for some reason. Anyway, piping real engine noise is fine. But playing back sound sample through car stereo? I think this is below cheesy.

      Mortalomena Straight six is a beautiful configuration. I find it disappointing that more and more things become computer simulated. It's like pushing adult entertainment in favor of real woman. Sure, for some it make sense. But if one has a choice, it seems rather silly to go for emulation.

      +Davidovar34 have you seen a w124 e class? They're tiny compared to the modern c class. This car is very small and has a ton of power. It doesn't really matter though. Most remaining examples of the Hammer have died or put away in someones collection. I wish I could buy one.

      Not to mention if you want a fast car it's not an SEC, you take a 560 SEC, take the M119 out of that and throw it into a 107C chassis essentially creating a 560 SLC. That my friends is a fast car.

  • @cacarca
    @cacarca 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have to agree with you on the throttle pedal there, Chris. I've driven loads of W124s and W201s and you have to literally push the throttle like half-way to the floor before you get any response. Besides that, I love the Hammer, and lesser models as well.
