Torque pull in E63 amgs
I drove the E63 AMG S, was quite impressed and may purchase one . The exhaust note is nice, the steering is tight in the S+mode , and the acceleration is awesome but how come I don't feel the pull of the 590 lb/ft of torque like I do in my 500 lb/ft of torque Cayeene Turbo? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for the information .

i drive them all, fast and hard
Im actually really impressed with the mercs steering. I think the system becomes firm where it needs to and light when it needs to at the right time.
Im happy it doesn't have a seperate switch like Audi or BMW. The Audi system at the highest setting becomes too heavy unless u are driving in straight line

Its ironic that driving the same turns in the same day with the Benz electronic steering vs the Black Series was night and day.

I sure would also like to get a ride in Vic's car when he's down in Mexico. I still don't know what this Mexican Toll Roads is all about but I should probably google for some infos. Of course, I'm also nervous about hanging out around the border area due to these killings.

Bgluckdo,
The sales people for MB dealers are morons.
They should be technical enough to explain the difference between regular a 4matic and AMGs 4 wheel drive system.
4 matic as most 4wheel drive cars have torque split between front and back.
4 matic is 45/55 split, but can shift traction to 70/30 or 30/70 depending on conditions. Like snow/rain.
AMGs new 4wheel is fixed 33/67split. It is always pushing more than pulling.

This explains the MB 4matic. Itsis designed for traction in all variable condition.
