Very nice! I was looking at these too. It came down to this with the turbo or the Jeep SRT8. Went with the SRT8, but I'd imagine the Porsche would have been a great choice also. Hope you enjoy it, and make sure to tell us how you like it.

Unfortunately mine is missing the turbos (insert sad face here). Either way tho its still a nice ride. Raced a 350z and I kept up with him to about 100 but he was a few cars ahead, if that gives you any idea of the speed. It stops fast enough to feel like its ripping your face off (the brakes are huge). And overall rides nice, I get a bit of road noise on bumps but that is due to the low pro tires.

I might have to come by and see it 
Not doubt it's still nice even without the turbos. What's in it as far as engine? How is the ride quality as far as stiffness? The SRT8 is stiff and the roads here suck. Interstate is fine, but city roads not so much.

4.5L v8, makes 340 HP. I would say it runs something like a 15 second 1/4 mile?
Ride quality is good unless your on a road that really needs resurfaced, but like I said I think its due to my tires The tires incase you were interested being super thin.

Yah the v8 is nice, afterall this is the wifes car lol. But to be honest im considering trading in the AMG for a TT cayenne. 450HP of all black murdered out awesomeness sounds nice.

Yea, that's why I was comparing it to the SRT8. Just as fast and I haven't even touched the engine yet...but again this is wifes car also, so it will most likely stay stock while in our driveway. It's ok, I'll just play with the S55
