SLS AMG
Before some of you get in a uproar, I have already posted this in the SLS thread for our SLS AMG owners, I just thought that some of you C63 owners might be interested in this as well. If it's and AMG regardless of the model, I'm always interested. ![naughty](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/naughty.gif)
National Geographic Channel will present the SLS AMG on Ultimate Factories, this Thursday at 10 pm. Here is the link if you are not familiar with this TV show:

Previous shows have featured the Ferrari 599, Audi R8, Porsche 911, Maserati, Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper to name a few. I don't know about you, but I'm going to watch it.

Hmm.. I have 3 tivo's... I can record 6 things at the same time.. I'm not sure if I have enough to record this.. I mean I have to record all those lifetime shows and movies, and home shopping channels all at the same time... ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Okay.. kidding, this should be interesting to watch, I have seen the others, as well as some other random ones (including how Caterpillar and Peterbuilt monsters are made). Also note.. the shows are repeated 6 million times.. so if you miss it, you should be okay

Watched the show last night - Interesting exhaust manifold - still not a LT header. More of a Y design.
Interesting to know if anyones motor was assembled by the featured Tech in the show?

The AMG Tech featured in the show assembling the engine was Robert Feiler, I found his signature plate in the AMG Private Lounge.

Ultimate Factories - SLS AMG : Great video of our engines being built
Watched "Ultimate Factories" on The National Geographic Channel tonight. It was the "Mercedes SLS AMG" factory episode. I had not watched this show before but found it to be GREAT.
I strongly encourage you to figure out a way to catch this episode. They spend 10-15 minutes showing a guy at the AMG factory assembling a M159 which is the SLS's version of our M156. I can imagine the assembly of the M156 is done on the exact same line by the same guys and doesn't look much different.

I happened to record last weeks episode on Masarati which was good too...but not AS good IMO
