I hope my AMG bothers haven't forgot about me...
Off topic but I just felt like coming back fellas! No AMG still but I hope you guys enjoy the new ride 
2013 GT-R Premium. Pearl White, black interior, Godspeed wing (refinished to match the OEM carbon perfectly), KW Sleeve kit, HRE P43's, some sick tooner lugs, and a Stillen skid plate. More to come as always.
Thank you's go to Boulder Nissan (BIG TIME! These guys are great to deal with), ACG - (Peter and James, you guys are awesome), Chapparone Auto Body - Mark is the man. Many of you know him, great guy with a great shop and he has one hell of an E55
Thanks for all the paint and finish work buddy and good luck with the G search! Vivid, Acute Performance, Neil Switzer and all you AMG crazies.
I miss you guys and more importantly I miss my E55.

You just bought the most advanced car in the world 
Now throw an AMS Alpha 12 Package on it and just laugh as no car on the street will possibly be able to keep up. Even UGR Gallardos struggle due to crappy gearbox and traction. The GT-R really is ahead of it's time Congrats 
Funny 55ks struggle to make 600whp when a GT-R mildly tuned with very mild bolt ons runs 10.1 in the quarter mile, FULL WEIGHT and R-compound street tires 
It does that with less than 590whp and the weight difference between the E55 and GT-R isn't that much.

WOW, what a car!!!! Love it! I just gotta ask. If you haven't read it yet, the new TT Benzs with TUNE ONLY are putting out near 700crank hp....JUST TUNE ONLY!!!!
Headers, intake, bigger turbs and more tuning......ummmm hello Mr1000hp
Just curious if you miss being back in the 2 ton straight line boats at all.
Nice to see those pics of the machine. It's truly a beast.

Absolutely bro! Let me know if you're planning on heading up this side of town with your new monster!
Thanks man, really excited to start some go fast goods when this break in period is over.
Haha, yes I do know.... Although I have no use for back seats, I miss my land yacht so much and have been looking to scoop one up but it's hard to replace what I had.
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you!
Come to GI this Sat mang!
It doesn't. This car and the 55k are worlds apart. I can't really say I like one more than the other but I have a feeling the GT-R and I have the beginning of a beautiful thing together.

Congrats Tal! I've been waiting a while to see your GTR, must've been a tough wait especially considering you hated the S4 you had. And missing that E55 of yours.
Awesome car. Excellent color choice!

Just saw your post on NAGTROC. Congrats on the purchase of a beautiful car. Funny but I was just at Switzer yesterday for my P600 install.
Tim, Neil and DK are a fantastic group of guys and they even took me for a ride in Scott's (Divexxtreme) GTR Ultimate Car. Holy Moses, it makes the P600 feel like a Honda hybrid. Anyways, best of luck with your future mods and shoot me a pm if you have any questions about the P600 package or about Switzer in general.

Thank you. That's definitely not my cosmetic style but I appreciate the feedback.
Got some more pics over the weekend at Cars and Coffee and Bandimere Speedway. Enjoy

Yes, I had the 90mm SS system installed and the fit and finish is beyond top notch. It's almost too nice to hide under the car.
A couple of notes of interest regarding the exhaust. First, it has a deeper exhaust tone at idle and there is no drone at cruising speed. It does sing an authoritative song a WOT. As far as the tips are concerned, The Switzer tips are beautiful but they do protrude about three inches or so from the bumper, even when fully retracted. I guess this is important for the high horsepower cars (the excess heat can damage the bumper) I wanted more of a stock look and was happy that I could use my 2009 tips. But even with the stock tips I am still out about one inch more than I was originally. I did not realize this until I got home. It does not look bad but I may take it back for further adjusting.
I did not really get a chance to push the P600 hard yet. With the holiday weekend our roads are flooded with the men in blue. I will have it to the track in the next week or two to see what it can do. I previously had a mid-pipe and a couple of different E-tunes and would run 11.1 @ 125-127mph. I am anxious to see what the improvement will be.
