AMG Performance Package...

So, I just got my 2014 ML63 with the AMG Performance Package. As stated in my and others previous posts many didn't recieve the carbon fiber engine cover. I've also found posts where some didn't get the red brake calipers. Now I'm wondering has anyone dyno'd their car? If they leave off carbon fiber engine covers and put on the wrong brake calipers, who knows if they really tweaked the engine? How do we know it's really 550HP and 560lbft of torque?

My salesman actually brought it up to me before I brought it up to him and he's gonna see if they can find a dyno and send my car and the silver ML63 on the showroom to verify as they want to make sure the cars are optioned properly. That's integrity! Lets see if they follow through.

You will never figure it out on any dyno. Just drive the car and enjoy the experience. The performance enhancement is mild anyway. It would be better to buy a car without the PP and have it tuned imo.

I just received the carbon fiber cover and had it installed. No big deal at all. I definitely would not have taken delivery without the red painted calipers. Are you sure no red calipers has been an issue?

I came across a thread where someone said they were supposed to have them and the dealer screwed up.
