No offence but what makes you think that you have an AMG?....

The 0-100km time for a 300 is about 8.6 secs that should give you some idea as to speed.

Also it's an inline 6 not a V just look at the shape of the engine.

Based on that I'd say it's pretty obvious you don't have an AMG then. There was never any carbon fiber used on the W140 by AMG and the only AMG W140 that I've ever seen was the enlarged V12 S600.

That should answer your question as to why the car is not that fast. The M104 I6 has it's best power output around 3-4000rpm.

As far as things that can make the car sluggish try all the things like the cap and rotor, wiring harness, fuel filter, sparkplugs, or even any fault codes that the car may be storing and going into limp-home mode. Fuel injectors could also be another issue.

Read the thread. The car you have is not a real AMG. In fact, with all of the goofy, home-made mods the previous owner did to it, it may not even qualify as a Mercedes anymore.

It's a good idea to limit yourself to two ??s worth of indignant. You never know when five will backfire.
