I finally, finally have the crazy ridiculous make-my-wife-scream acceleration and torque that I've always dreamed of.

I can't believe I gave serious consideration to a C350 (new) and a G37 Sedan (new). This thing is the most awesome machine I have ever touched. Can you tell I'm giddy? I'm taking it to a High Performance driving school at VIR in September and I can't wait. The torque. Oh my G. The torque from the time you mash the pedal is absolutely insane.

More later.

Congrats! Wait until you put a pulley and tune on it. Also, good to do an aftermarket heat exchanger and CM30 Intercooler Pump for consistent supercharger operation during the gut wrenching pulls.

Congrats, gotta love when you truly love what you just bought.

To put my opinion in here, I like the E much better, I've never liked the CLS design at all, and think that it won't age very well, as it is a very fashionable at the moment design. The AMG E is a truly sleek, and stealthy design, which will always look sharp and hot, as long as it's maintained well.
