New billet turbos, intake redesign and removed a few red accents from the exterior. Kept the badge just because it looks funny without it. I don't like no badges and it looked all wrong with the sl600 badge. The black series badge looks good so I kept it. I don't really care if people make fun about the badge or it being a wanna-be. I do find it amusing when people get pissed off over a use of a badge.

It's amusing when people try to make their car something it's not. Just be proud of what you have.

PeterUbers

You've mentioned all this before

Glad you're happy. Sorry to burst your bubble but most people aren't pissed

Lol +1

Agreed, Peter. File this under non-news. :

Brabus and AMG or E55 and E550 they have been revamped for the third time, agreed not new but updated. It has taken quite a few attempts but it will be worth it in the end. The engine bay shots and paint work are new.

AMGAffalterbach

So why don't you make a thread about it then SL600? I mean it's interesting, wouldn't be my personal choice but I think the overall car is pretty cool.

F1BHP

I have one at WIDE-BODY SL600 V12

Stiggs

They're laughing at you, not with you.

F1BHP

Good post Stiggs. Post something that makes sense next time. By the way I am laughing at you.

AMGAffalterbach

Why would you laugh at Stiggs? He is a solid guy from what I can tell.

F1BHP

I am sure he is, just responding to his post.

I'm sorry I joined in but can we stop feeding the troll. It is taking this thread way off topic.

Rob CL

He's on my ignore list. I recommend you consider said option.

Judgement flaw (badging) aside, I'm sure, doesn't amount to much of who he is as a person. Then again, I'm certain he'd understand the undermining nature of someone trying to emulate himself in a disingenuous manner.

That said, he's squarely within the subject matter of this thread, no matter how much of a drag it is to read his incongruous arguments.

F1BHP

I do apologize for the argumentative nature of some of my posts, sometimes I get a little bored and this thread is always good for a bit of banter, you all must be jokers as a 113 page discussion on badges is hilarious.

Most of us don't have anything else to do, but look for posers and then rush back here to post when we find one. Unfortunately for me, there are only about ten AMGs in the whole area and one poser. I already nailed his **** and posted him up.

I'm not at all an S-Class expert but something a saw yesterday stood out to me. I saw 4 S550's with AMG badges on them. The first one I just thought oh I didn't know S550 came as AMG. After the second one I was ok now I don't think that exist. The 3rd one I was driving right behind and I heard no distinctive note coming from it. By the time I saw the last one at night I was like I think an S-Class AMG is the S63 or S65. Can someone confirm this and if I'm correct then wow I have a bunch of posers in the town over from me. I'll have my camera on deck for the next time I'm over there which isn't often.

^and no pictures?? FAIL LOL

jahquan3

LOL. My phone crashes when I take pics most of the time. So I'll have to use my actual camera which I do keep with me some times. It takes a few seconds to get it out and ready though ha ha

CLKRob

From what I've heard, a number of dealers love to slap AMG badges on S class's. I've seen them around my area multiple times. Maybe they get more money by trying to claim AMG upgrades, like the wheels or the outer trim? Don't know, but it is common around my area as well

megasaurus

Never heard of that where are you located

jahquan3

2 of the guys were older and I just don't think they would've put that on there. So I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they bought it like that. Both of the older guys drove pretty slow and didn't seem to take themselves all that seriously. The other guys were my age or younger especially the one I was behind and they drove it like they stole it LMAO.

I live in Union County NJ but I'm a town or two over from Newark. I was in the Beth Israel Hospital area and near the Prudential Center where the Devils play back and forth for several hours yesterday. Each of the posers I saw were in Newark NJ.

Edit: Sorry I thought you asked me, I just peeked in and started typing fast.

megasaurus

I believe you its the other guy waiting to see his reply.
