Look what I picked up today...

The car is crazy mental fast. TBH it's probably the closest I'm ever likely to come to owning something that goes supercar fast.

I thought my S/C'd IS300 was pretty quick, but this is off the scale. Driving along with traction control on you can feel it constantly fighting the car when you give it a bit of throttle. And well if you turn it off you just leave a rather long number 11 down the road.

I've not come close to actually planting my foot to the floor yet. Its too scary!

Oh...and the stupid dealer installed four new 'Sunny' tyres! Who the F are Sunny and wtf possessed the dealer to put ditchfinders on a 500bhp car!

Agreed!

Yeah I'm really happy with her. She's missing some of the options I would have liked - I think the original owner unticked all the boxes. But this car is far more 'me' than the LS and it was a good price too.

I'll check out the tyre specs tomorrow and see if I can at least use the spare Avon ZZ3 225's I've got in my garage for the fronts and buy a new set of 275's for the rear.

I may melt the sunny's first tho :p

I've gotta say mate I absolutely love your car Wink
It doesn't look over the top or shout 'look at me' but it certainly has a presence greater than most cars imo.
So much so I'm looking at them for myself.
But atm it's going to have to wait Sad

But you should definately shred those tyres Smile I'll even offer to help lol

Hehe, this one is deffo staying for a while. Besides, I've pretty much exhausted the list of cars that fit my requirements - aside from American muscle maybe Smile

Thx mate. Definitely get one if you can. I think it's one of few cars that lets you have the cake and eat it. It's civilised enough for cruising/family duties, but ****** bonkers when you give it a stab. I also imagine that It won't attract much attention when parked either.

SHAHZ Nice one jim, looks real nice Smile.....glad you finally found your motor!

Yep. Shame it ain't jap tho. I have my doubts that the merc scene will be much good. Time for an outlawkrautclub?

Lovely :drool:

What options are missing? I thought the AMGs didn't have too many options on the list to tick (but being a Merc there's still a bit of a list!)

I don't think it should be that bad though in terms of trying to keep traction if you're not booting it at every opportunity, probably best to get some quality tyres on asap and a geo Smile

The manual is full of stuff about keyless start, phone connectivity, adaptive cruise control, cooled seats and lots of option menus / buttons I dont have.

Not that I really care though. Its got leather seats, good suspension, a huge engine, a nice set of wheels and a good stereo. Thats all a man really needs.

To many doors to properly qualify but something the history books will forgive.
