Re: [MBZ] who wants a W124 Sportline?
I think GMs are ok cars, but I don't think GM could do such a car right. If you look close at a car that is all, or mostly carbon in clear, getting all the mat to line up properly is something GM couldn't do, even in small numbers. Well, they could, but I don't think anyone is going to pay 1.5 million for a Corvette. The car isn't marketed to people who are interested in that level of detail. (that's not a snooty poke at Corvette owners by the way. GM got it right with the ZR1. The performance of a $400,000 for $100,000) The DMC12 was a cool looking car, and with panels made of stainless, was suppose to be corrosion free and easy to maintain. Truth is, it was a pain to keep looking nice. (they sold a special kit of cleaners for it I believe). Something like 30+% of owners got tired of messing with it and the effort required, and just painted them. A friend almost bought one at auction a couple of years ago. I think they're still pretty cool looking. :-) What other car for the money can you get where the doors open like that, besides a Brickland. Or a slammed Civic with Lambo doors. hee hee Ed 300E On 18 February 2012 06:14, Mitch Haley m...@voyager.net wrote: Walt Zarnoch wrote: If GM did it right, a carbon fibre Vette with a proper polish and uv protectant clearcoat would likely sell quite well.

If they were to clear coat, or gel coat really, a race car, it would be heavier than painting it. When racing, it's all about weight. ;-) Most purpose built race cars (F1) etc, are built underweight, often quite a bit underweight, so that they can add back ballast where they want it to fine tune the handling, and bring it up to the min required weight.

Re: [MBZ] who wants a W124 Sportline?
Nice thing about the sportline cars back then, they still followed in that same spirit of the earlier 6.3, in that they were very subtle, and you kind of had to know what you were looking for to pick one out. Unlike a lot of the current AMG models, that go like stick, but have a good amount of flash bolted on as well, just to make sure everyone knows you paid extra for (more likely leased) the fast model. Mercedes can no longer call any of its hot rod models, Q cars. Sad in ways, but tacky and vulgar are now fashionable. Ed 300E On 17 February 2012 18:34, WILTON wilt...@nc.rr.com wrote: $73k?!!

Re: [MBZ] who wants a W124 Sportline?
Me too, just delete the badges, and that silly carbon fibre that is all the rage for interior trim. What is it with people thinking clear coated carbon mate is a cool option for interior trim. If it's such a good look, maybe they should just stop painting Corvettes and start selling them in plain fibreglass with clear coat. I know taste is very much subjective, and no doubt mine has been open to question at times too. I love anything with lots of cylinders and power, I just prefer it packaged in something a bit more elegant and understated. Then again, I've never been a hey, look at me kinda guy. :-) Ed 300E On 17 February 2012 23:03, Rich Thomas richthomas79td...@constructivity.net wrote: I want any of the vulgar ones, particularly those ending in 65 --R On 2/17/12 9:35 PM, Dieselhead wrote: Sad in ways, but tacky and vulgar are now fashionable.

Re: [MBZ] who wants a W124 Sportline?
If GM did it right, a carbon fibre Vette with a proper polish and uv protectant clearcoat would likely sell quite well. Witness the naked stainless steel on the DMC-12.
