So I think I'll wait for the factory version, and get a nice MB warranty and probably very comparable performance.
HPS never did return any of my further inquiries about dealers, installation costs, warranty, or specs. So I suppose it's not a real product.

With regards to the W211 if we use the existing line as a reference the E430 starts at $54k, the E55 at $72 - an $18K diff, The new E500 is SUPPOSED to come in at about 8% higher than the E430. The E55? (with 469hp sc engine) no one has mentioned its price. The spread looks the same from my end. Having a factory warranty is certainly a concern for many buyers. BTW the existing 5.5 engine will give 530+hp with a KLEEMANN kompressor, 61hp more than the AMG.

OK 19k!
Thanks Brad and Brandon, sorry if I sounded impatient. Your points about the next gen AMG are good ones. Now I just need to ponder that $19k; wife is still in shock over my buying the E55 in the first place.
