Amazing time, how much boost was the car making?

This makes me wonder what can be achieved with the New JB4 that is in the works.

Outstanding job sir...

Where's the 63 crowd with their BS about the 43 not being a REAL AMG because it doesn't have a "handmade" engine. For the price, manueverability and practical size, I'll take the 43.
Also the 43 has been documented only 0.2s behind the 63 in 0-60mph. Yazza!!

That is just haters saying the 43 isn't a real AMG, funny because AMG thinks it is- there are badges all of the interior and exterior of the car, even on the engine cover. Make no mistake this car is a beast and 100% AMG sickness- I continue to scare the **** out of people with the acceleration every time they are in the car and myself also, even after a year of owning. I'm running AWE Touring and BMS filters with a coating of Liqui Moly Ceratec on the engine. 0-60 Runs consistent 4.2 4.1's untuned.

Really cool. How did you launch and I assume you let the transmission do the shifting?

Sure, I used Ceratec by liqui moly- a German oil company it puts a Ceramic like friction reducer on the internal engine parts. I love to drive my car hard so I want the extra protection and friction reduction. You need to flush the oil sludge and dirt off the engine first using an engine flush (most people don't do this and the product doesn't work as well because it cant bond to dirty internal parts, I use Auto Rx the best!!! Then put in 2oz of ceratec per quart of oil and let it stay for 5000 miles to bond to the engine parts. I had to buy two bottles since the 43 takes 7 quarts of oil.

Chilling in our 63s while some, especially you, are "trying" to be in one or want to justfy your purchase in every thread. Its always the 43 guys that wants to measure up against the 63. I wonder why is that? Now the whole AMG brand is based on straight line performance? What a clown, slightly mod an Audi and its faster than 95% of the MB out there. Kind of reminds me of my "Type-R" days when regular civics and integras are swapping in Recaro seats, wheels and engines just to be like a stock R.

Impressive time though but life span on those snails will decrease drasically.

It is a JB tune, he is not stuck with 21 psi all the time. I am sure he when the drives the car on the road, he uses a much milder map. Thats the beauty of it.

Probably because people do not like to be mocked and you guys keep calling 43s "fake amgs".
