Did the AMG Event this morning.
Got to do extended test drives on all the AMG models in MB's lineup.
The cars are amazing...I drove the CLS63 - OMG............
BUT I have to say I loved getting into my E60 after the drive.
My car obviously has far less power - but I did not feel any sense of 'inadequacy' after the experience :-)
incidentally most of the cars in the parking lot of the event were BMW..
I guess MB must have bought a list of BMW owners from dealers...
They had a $500K Mclaren SLR there as well...
here's a link to the video of the dyno run we all got to do
o-100kmh in 4.4 sec
0-160kmh in 13.1 sec
