It's on now... Come on AMG, don't hold back. I know if my SL65BS was really uncorked, I'd be looking well into 700hp and over 800 on the tourqe meter and I'm sure the '14 S-model E-class could spit out a 650+ rating, not that 580's too shabby.....and with awd, that would easily roast that rear wheel Chrysler product. Bottom line, if Dodge can grow a pair, so can Mercedes....

I went for a trip two days ago in seattle and was doing 80 mph on I-5 at 10pm South bound when a fully cloaked charger (cant mistake those led on the back) passed me like I was doing 30mph. The sound of the exhaust is the same as what I heared on the adds about this monster. Most likely it was a test mule. Tried chasing to get a closer look but after a few seconds I remember I was already breaking the law and I only have a C300 and just watch it dissapear on the pitch black highway.

If I have $60k to spare and if I am planning in getting a high powered car like a AMG this will be on my top list. It is true that this is not as refined as the german kinds but who cares! You want cheap raw power look no further and I am sure this thing will be a collector car someday when all the cars have 1 liter displacement engines and all battery powered.
