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
the only car to beat me so far :'( ...but it was damn close

You have a point there, although i think there are very few places where you can go that fast, and plus more important is how fast you get to 155mph

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)
No worries bro.
One would think you were bragging only if they felt insecure about him/herself.

Now in regards to the ventilation/heating, are you referring to Active Ventilation? Also, did your car come with the 030 package?

no independant heating by remote ... it comes with a separate remote with an on/off switch, and it allows you to adjust when the car's heater (cooler) starts. I havent got the hang of it yet.

Active ventilation, if i understand the term correctly is just a function of the normal AC.

No i dont have the 030 package, and i have only ever seen 1 car with it in the whole of www.mobile.de

It just isnt popular around here! I am thinking of getting a kleemann LSD, a chip, race exhaust, but thatll have to wait for a bit.

Cool mods.
In addition to those, consider upgrading the pulleys too and you'll be happy for a long while.
