BTW forgot to mention something ... i dont wont to brag but my car is unlike any other standard 55AMGS... it is one of the very few AMGs to include independent ventilation and heating (by remote) ... the car was special order and the above was installed by AMG Manufaktur (the division that deals with customers' unique cars)

Yup but that's because of the supercharger. That's why the m5 eats way more. Tune a NA engine to the output of a similar but turbo/supercharged engine and you get a screamer that will simply have to eat gas. The NA engine compared to the FI engine doesn't have any help from the boost.

Yeah that may prove a huge advantage. I was more like kidding that you have to drive only moster cars in Gumball, but to be sincere a 535d (maybe remaped) can do an even better job. Since i can get 800km with a full tank on the highway and considering there are very few areas where even the monster cars eat fire then it's no brainer that i can gain a big advantage.

thats nonsense mate... its about the party (if you got the cash of course)...

you know what.. ill give you my 55AMG badge if you really want it
Yeah man i was just kidding. I know it's just for the party and the feeling, experience but a win wouldn't also be bad would it?!

Regarding the AMG badge: you know i'm not a poser and frankly i hate to death posers and even more i'm not a fan of mercedes be it even amg. It's simply not for me and doesn't rock my boat. But i'm a fan of 470ish hp
