It's just another argument those MPower Boys love using against us and once we get that fixed, it's another reason to claim that AMG is truly faster in every sense compared to MPower.
trust me, this is never going to end if they (the one that said it's "unfair" to match NA vs FI) can't understand all these are just different methods of making efficient horsepower. AMG and like Brabus has always favorite displacement over high revving which is what M Gmbh has always gone against philosophy wise.

if one is really a car enthusiast they could care less about how the power is made i.e. NA, supercharge, turbo, etc. and just simply appreciate each car for what they are. I've only know soo many people that are like this, instead of people on the forum always trying to COMPARE.

There must be a reason for them to complain about AMG. They are jealous

I don't care how the power of my car is delivered, as long as it is delivered

Without comparing there is no reason to go further

The reason I love complaining is because it gives me something to do, heck I'm perfectly happy with the current C32 as it gives a damned well run for the money against the M3 with four doors and a regular Speedshift automatic transmisson. If we can do that, who knows what kind of cars AMG would churn out if they switched to a different philosophy?!
