2014 E63 AMG S TACKLES GA. MOUNTAINS

This is my first MB AMG. Although my wife's car has always been a MB, I have been driving M-5's for almost 20 years. The E39 I just sold had the full Dinan S2 package including the light weight Dinan forged wheels and a stage 3 suspension. This car was very quick and the handling was fantastic with great road feel and feedback. Today I ventured an hour from my our home into the Georgia mountains for the first time with my recently acquired E63. I traveled from Dahlonega to Blairsville over to Suches and than back to Atlanta. There is little traffic on this route during the week and the twisties come at you fast. The difference between this car and my last M5 was unbelievable. In Sport Plus with the suspension set to full firm the car handled the varied of twists and turns as if it were on rails. Hard to describe but it was a lot of fun. I have covered the same route on a motorcycle dozens of times but I don't recall having that much fun. Next up is a trip to The Tail Of The Dragon in N. Carolina, 381 curves in 11 miles.

Sounds like a great trip. Would love to do a big convoy to the Tail of the Dragon in late spring or summer. Anyone else interested?

I've gotta look up this place on google map. Wish there is a place around me with such features.
