After you drive one you will undrstand. Don't think there are any words that can describe the feeling you get when you drive one.

Yes it just feels different to other AMGs, the steering is ao superior, the ability to get the rear end out on demand, the exhaust note, the uniqueness of the look.
I have no regrets about buying mine !

I've owned and sold a stable of great cars (many are not shown including Shelby's, turbo Porsche's, etc.) but without a doubt my CLK63 AMG BS is the one I'm keeping. It is to-date the most unique car that AMG has ever produced including the mighty (?) SLS which BTW was criticized in a recent Top Gear road test. IMO as the word gets out that the BS is the "best of the best" and as engines get smaller and "greener" it will some day become a highly prized addition to anyones stable. Drive one and you'll understand the passion this car evokes from its owners, and former owners who regret selling their BS!

Its 630hp based on dyno numbers. Vath uses the Weistec supercharger they just rebadge it - and probably whack on a great big margin. The torque is pretty much flat form 2000rpm onwards and is a stratospheric. The car is a monster !!!

damn 630hp sounds sick! Is it a stock black s.engine otherwise? I am asking because vath are saying 680hp so i am assuming they tuned it apart from the kompressor... 50hp extra with back pressure exhaust and cams?

Its stock, no headers..yet. All i have done to exhaust is remove secondary cats which i did after initial dyno so i dont know what improvement that yielded on top of the 630hp. maybe another 5-10hp perhaps Certainly sounds the business!!
