but hey what do I know here. I don’t know why was my post triggered negative answer on your side so funny. I just think American cars are better for that purpose. As dumb as it is they’re much better known for burnouts than moving forward. Not all of them. Just majority and there’s nothing wrong with that. MB is not good for that purpose. Power steering pumps don’t take that well either.

And where did we start talking about reliability here ? Just because Your E55 is not reliable (if you own one) doesn’t mean mine E63 isn’t but hey what do I know here.

Chevy made MILLIONS of LS series engines that run up in the 200k mark on mere oil changes… Try that with a German engine and see where that gets you… You’ve got some nerve talking about reliability with the m156’s history…
Third, when he mentioned Chevy he brought in reliability imo. They win in producing high horsepower WHILE being reliable. American cars and engines have been faster than most cars on the planet in a straight line. Chevy and Ford make cheaper, faster cars than Mercedes and BMW. Period.
All that being said, I’ll continue to enjoy and modify my slower than some newer cars, but faster than 95% of of n/a 63 Mercedes cars 🫣

First off, I have no problems leaving a looooong number 11 down anyone’s street… in my measly fsp, e55 on coilovers…

it was a bit childish. You got offended because of what I said about a car that’s parked in your garage or is it ? I am sorry that (in your world) I dare to say something about the most ideal creation by Mercedes ever.

I’ll leave this alone after this. I maintain my car to the highest standard an 18 year old AMG should have. I am up to date on everything except adding new brakes/rotors and new injectors. Guess what’s sitting in my spare room? I drive the car likes it was meant to be driven. Not too soft, not too hard. You’re happy with what you have and I’m happy in what I have…. I’m done here

This is as passive aggressive as it gets… your insinuations were read loud and clear. You’ve actually alluded to me lying about owning an 18 year car twice… but I’m the one that’s childish?
