Made it back finally, home in one piece, had the pleasure of getting screwed by Contintental Airlines this morning delaying my flights, but misery loves company and had some great conversation with my fellow AMG Driving Academy attendees as in "gthal" and another fellow Chris from Halifax. We have been up and in transit since 5am this morning, with this freaking delay we were forced to indulge in some very very crappy airport food in NY, in fact I think my stomach is perculating as I sit here typing this.....all I can say is whoever has orederd the BS is in for some serious performance, this car as gthal stated is truly a monster....it impressed me to the point that I just realized yesterday after seeing this car in the flesh, the stance, the unique yet very different exhaust note of the other 6.2L cars, the brutal and relentless acceleration of this car has left me in a state of despair.....4 more months before I get mine. This is a very serious track car. I found this car in the corners stuck better than the SLS, the acceleration between the SLS and the BS has me scratching my head....which is faster?? I couldnt tell. The brakes are something to see, they are 15.4inches in the front, and with the oversize six piston calipers, they look like they belong on a racecar. Owners of this car will need to get this at the track, this will be its true home.

I feel your pain... I just walked through the door 16 minutes ago. I don't know what's worse... walking through the door at 1:13AM after being up since 4:30AM the night before or the fact that I then actually came here to check the forum

Isn't Florida 3-4 hours flight away? Did you drive back? J/K lol ! I heard horrible stories about Continental & La Guardia airport flight delays.

Well, I'm sure it was all worth it though.
