I believe it maybe similar to the event they had in Dallas couple years ago.

Thanks, i attended the one in Dallas in Nov 08 and there were a bunch of us from this forum who attended, it was an amazing experience, but I asked my dealer yesterday and he wasnt aware of this one, I am surprised that it wasnt brought to our attention, needless to say I am pissed, but, ironically, I am in Vegas on the 15th to 19th with my wife for fun.

-Just IMHO-

Agreed

I don't think I've ever seen a specific AMG commericial for ANY model. They are so involved with portraying and selling an image rather than selling and demostrating a product.

Back to MFEST. Some of them are doing the weekly show at the Las Vegas Cars & Coffee on Sat 17th over in Green Valley. Might be our opportunity to show that the AMG community can organize and present........

Is it because M cars have longer history than their AMG counterparts?

AMG has actually been around longer than the M. But I wish there was a big get together for us like the M-Fest.

everything

MFest is a lot of fun, and yes as long as you are enthusiast, it doesn't matter what you bring. AMGFest would be cool.

I just got the invite to Mfest. I dont know much about it, but its a reason to drive up to Vegas. So I will be there I think. I might even be in The SL55 I just boought. I heard it was at Las Vegas motor speedway. Please correct me if i'm wrong. I think I might get the whole Dyno-Comp crew to roll up.

AMGfest would be cool, but Benzfest would be even cooler

There is definite demand but i think the 63s are just to few and far between.

James asked me if I was going....I'm not, but he'll be there and I'm sure he'll do tunes there as well. I'm pretty sure the Vegas people will stop by.
I will go if someone wants to arrange a huge AMGfest at the Venician this weekend right next to their hotel

.

Drove down to the Palazzo @ around 7pm on Sat to check out the cars. It is too bad that it is held @ the Palazzo vs The Red Rock because it is all underground parking. Some pretty good looking cars.

Also check out the sick matte green, SC'd wide body M3 over at the M3post thread: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=376700
