not really sure. hell, i don't know what it is in the M or the X or the Durango either. LOL! I never pay attention to that shit because I don't really care. But then again, I don't really drive any of my cars very much, since I'm either on a train to the city or a plane to another city.

I guess i asked the wrong person! it's all good just thought i'd ask. hey what do you think about a RPi gt exhaust for the w212 AMG? do you think there is a large enough market? just from being on mbworld it doesn't seem like it.

Doubtful. The car is not nearly as mod friendly. I've only done the front grill and AMG badge like Tom did. I still need to do the reflectors and have the trim wrapped (I might do it this weekend).

Reasons for purchasing the w212 amg:
1. Cost me far less than the m5 (21k off msrp)
2. Just as fast, if not faster than the m5 (525hp)
3. Better gas mileage (roughly 100 extra miles vs m5)
4. should hold me over until the f10 m5
Damn the M5 and E63 are SLOW!!! 10 MPH and 18 MPH!

Congrats David!

Now dechrome that beast!!!
