    I think they are not testing, they just want to make your mouth water. Smiley

    The merc looks too much like a viper which to me always resembked a clowns' shoe especially in red. hope it changes,

    They must monitor these car communities and know you are the only guy left with any cash.

    But why together, other than the engine what is the connection, does zonda pay amg to test it?

    Hey Mike - what have been that other car in front of the Zonda. It looks like an Enzo? Was this an Ferrari-Mule? Any close ups?

    Hi Lars, I didn't snap these pics. Some local guy did. I was also wondering what car was infront of the Zonda. The guy did mention SEVERAL different camo'd cars driving in this same convoy.

    Its a pity not having more informaions. The car in front looks indeed like the Enzo Successor!

    Amazing to see different companies together on a camo-road trip!

    well since those two are associated with MB. It would be a fair guess that the third one is also.

    Maybe a baby Zonda Smiley
