Oh, you are driving at noon, gotcha. Hope you enjoy the experience tomorrow, don't let it keep you up all night though.

Just did a race start and I’m happy to inform it went flawlessly and was a lot quicker than I was expecting! Also the way the truck twists up from the torque is hilarious. Must have been a stuck caliper before

Must have been, I’ve obviously had stuck brake pads before from parking after a good rain, but wow, if they stick while launching it’s a scary f’n noise!!
BTW, the truck has no business being that fast, race start is ridiculous on a G63, love it!!

You can tell how much torque and power the G 63 have and how much force it puts on launching. Imagine a beast being let loose.

Totally, the truck literally feels like it’s twisting its frame while building boost. It’s hilarious how the front left rises up and the rear right dips down from the torque.
I’ve owned some insanely fast cars, but there’s something about launching a 5,800 pound truck that makes it feel so much faster than it is…4 seconds is insane when you think about what you’re launching. It’s not just the weight, it’s also the fact it’s one of the most capable off roaders there is. Change the tires and climb a mountain, change them back and do 0-60 in 4 seconds. What a machine!!

There will be a sticker up in the left corner of the windshield telling you everything you need to know for a successful break in.

Cheers

I seen some don't have it for some reason, I wonder if it meant to be added at VPC or did it come from the factory....

It’s factory. Some dealers remove it and the AMG private lounge invite sticker.

So that is what happened, someone deliberately removed it... but why.

Some dealers probably think that with the price of these trucks, the high end clientele don’t want stickers on the windshield

I've had the break-in sticker in each of my cars. The AMG lounge sticker is new for 2025.

It is always supposed to be there, just not sure why it is gone or maybe the dealership removed it as mentioned.
