I felt sorry for the owner. Last time a car bumped my rear end at the exit of a parking lot. His parents' insurance company ended paying for the whole rear bumper cover assembly, which cost them a lil' over a grand.

No idea, but it will likely be expensive, as AMG parts are priced at a premium.

night and day... E55 > C32

The E55 has power at every rpm... it feels like theres endless torque but yet the car feels very controlled... in simple words.... E55 IS INSANE!!!

That does suck!

But I got another one for ya... my C55 was 5 days old and I woke up to find it like this:




Anyway this was a while ago, but it did suck in that it happened about a week before StarFest so no hope of getting it fixed in time for the event.

The funniest part was that SOOO many ppl at starfest assumed that I hit the car out on track or something!

Yea if I had done that AT LEAST it would have been some what worthwhile...like a battle scar.... as it is its just a pain in the ***

Yea those are all real Type R's. I've been an Integra type R owner since 98 (on my 3rd one a track only car) I started a yearly 'ITR Expo' national meet back in 2000, when I lived in Los Angeles, since this years expo was closer to where I currently live (detroit) My wife and i decided to go, unfortunatly my ITR wasnt in running condition so we thought we'd just go hang out w/ old friends.

We woke up at about 6am to goto the track and watch the ITR's go...but instead woke up to this

Here's a pic of the ITR out on Willow Springs Raceway

how is a type-R a myth.... its an Integra GSR with a transmission with LSD, higher compresssion (different head on the B18C) and reworked suspension to handle like its on rails!!! You would think that they are really rare but i see quite a few of them here in miami. They are great cars...feel so balanced when going around some cones.... but my first drag racing kill ever with my ML55 was with some modded Teggy Type-R though... hehe :v

I know they are ,I've driven one before, but for each real Type-R you have about 100 posers, I even saw Type-R hyundais and Toyotas

I don't see what an Integra Type-R has to do with AMGs. Lets get back to the original topic of the thread. BenzoAMGpower, how much is that repair going to cost?
