Literally two of the most slept-on sports cars! People will talk about M3 this, M5 that, AMG this, Hellcat that, but none will ever reach the status symbol of these two beauties. I know they say to never date a French or an Italian, but now I am starting to put my faith into them. Their cultures are far more rich than one may expect. In fact, closer to Arab culture than Bri'ish.
