It just illustrates the giant improvements in handling, and performance, that have taken place in the last thirty odd years. It's remarkable just how much better the AMG car handles the exit from the corner. Regards Styria

Quite right Styria - what it really shows is the advances that have been made with electronics and their ability to control so many actions in the suspension within a thousanth of a second.
Having said that, the 6.9 has more character and would be a more personable beast to live with in the long run.
