I was at Mercedes Benz USA Headquarters in Montvale, NJ today for AMGFEST. They had the brand new ML63, along with a E63, CLS63 and R63. I managed to get a ride in the ML63. Holy S*@% is this thing fast!!!

You would not beleive how well this vehicle performs on the track.

I was lucky enough to get a ride with Tommy Kendall in the ML 63 at the Chicago AMG Challenge, and he took a few of us around the track at speed. This vehicle is amazing at speed - handles more like a car than a truck - and it is WAY fast.

Well after my 05 e55 i dont think it will be faster than that but ML350 is defenetly not fast for me so I'm thinking of switching... i think i just have to test drive one of those things.

No I don't think it will be faster than an E55 or E63 - being about 1000 lbs heavier - but it's pretty stout for an SUV!

One test drive and you will be sold. It's one of the most awesome SUV's

Didn't really get to go around corners too fast. I wasn't driving. I was happy enough to just get a ride in the thing

Somebody at MBUSA needs to realize (or be told) that they haven't put the ML63 or R63 on their own website yet!!!

I think it sounded better than the G55 it sounded like the E63 they had there for us.
