Your worst nightmare...
I Agree with Jangy, lol! We should come up with a new name...eventhough my car is not kleemanized it will be soon, lol! By the way, anybody know if the tail lights from the E63 will fit the E55. From the looks of it, it does.

Benztek, pls add kill too to your win record vs Bummer crowd. think your commentary counts as a win. somewhat objective as ran a e39/m5 w/ Dinan tune for a long while.

Yup, because you've driven it and you know more than AMG does.

Hate to tell you, AMG doesn't go backwards. At least it hasn't in recent history.

Maybe in the minds of some current E55 owners when it comes to the E63, but that's about it.

BeNzTeK......I don't talk **** about what cars I can beat, thanks.

AMG knows plenty. they know that they can get $100K out of a supped up E500, just like they got $100K from a supercharged on. You really think their customer base cares what the performance stats are on the E63?

Conceptually BMW, AMG, AND Pcars have gone backwards ever since these groups were brought in-house. Has the performance typically increased from generation to generation? Yes, but the extreme attitude has DROPPED Big time.

Look back in history. First generation M3 / 2.3-16 / 944s
The M3 was literally hand made and extreme as compared to the 3 series. Shorter wheelbase and 50/50 weight was a first. The 2.3-16 was also a monster as compared to any 190 of its day.

The new M3 can be all you wanna call it, but it simply doesn't handle as well as the super cars do and the old M3 did. Actually, it also held the record for most HP/liter when it came out. The new M3 is trully a modded up 330ci.

Now, to give our cars the same scrutiny. Don't forget that all this hooplah began with the AMG Hammer, which was made by AMG WITH the help of Porsche. Extremely rare and unique car for the day.

Since those days, the AMGs, Ms, and even 911TTs have all been diluted to simple marketing. Face facts, that is how it is.

Do you like those tail lights?

Does anyone know if the E63 has the same size rotors? By the look of it, they come with 2-piece, slotted, light-weight rotors. If they fit, I'm going to be pissed that I bought the EVOSport ones.

They are a composite with 2 metals. they are NOT floating or light weight as compared to the EVo. You did well my young dragon.

Also the composite rotors are only a part of the 030 package, not stock.

You're confusing the 500E for the AMG Hammer. AMG Hammer was built in the mid 80s on the W124 chassis by AMG. The 500E (obviously inspired by the AMG Hammer) was a joint deal with Porsche and Mercedes-Benz with no AMG involvement circa 1991 (officially released in 1992 for USA market.)

Interestingly enough, the "Hammer" was actually built by Hartmut Fehyl, the man who later founded RennTech.
