If you want to waft around on motorways all day then the S8 is puuuurfect, but if you like having a blast round your country B-roads, then forget about it.

SL55 AMG is an absolute hoot, but much more a GT than a sports car. So much torque it is unbelievable.

My mate has a remapped A5 tdi quattro which is pretty similar on acceleration as the 996 and he states there's no way he can keep up on the twistys. By the way - which unmodified hot hat will leave the 996 for dust?
