Two stroke gasoline engine is British. Germany invented the diesel engine. British the Steam Engine. Germany/Britain the Jet engine (there is some conjecture whether it is British or German). Swiss invented the turbocharger. Internal Combustion Engine, Dutch British or Swiss. Disk brakes British, Super charger German. Chineese invented Rockets, liquid fueled rockets by a Russian. The only reason NASA exists today is the fact the American rounded up all the German rocket engineers and said work for us or else.

Don't have a CL550, 2. You are not wealthy because wealthy people don't act as ignorant as you do 3. A new CL550 will not touch a C6 Z06, because the CL is 0-60 in 5 sec. (only .4 faster than the S550), In fact the base C6 is faster. And lastly if you were weathly you wouldn't come in here like an ignoramous, and start posting cocky comments, you personify all the qualities of someone who contributes nothing to this world, has a low self-image (which is why you need to boost yourself up by saying your rich), and will more than likely have absolutely no impact of any significance ever.

I just saw a video of an Evo doing a 1/4 at 9.13 seconds at 162mph, about .8 seconds faster than this Ultima car. Both cars are fast, but I'll take the Evo, cause at least the ride won't be as cramped, plus I can bring more than one friend along for the ride if I wanted to.
