just a bit of useless trivia for you.. who is the designer of the 6.3NA AMG engine and what is his previous achievement

Bernd Ramler of AMG, who worked with porsche to develop the Carrera GT and GT3 engines.. And claims the 6.3na to be his greatest achievement
. porsche gt engine must be crap then ?how you enjoyint the m5 ???
i was talking about the GT3 engine.. the 6.3 na is not in this years competition
I think most things I do are my greatest achievement to date, it's only natural. He's hardly going to say that his Porsche work was excellent, but he's now assisted in the design for a $hite Merc AMG engine 
The M5 is just bonkers, no other way to describe it. Already had a couple of scary moments in the wet this morning, so i fully realise i've got alot of learning to do.
Will post a much fuller report after the DMS work & when i get back from The Ring in a couple of week.

Quite honestly, I don't see what is so great about the 6.3. It's an evolution of their V8 engine. From an engineering standpoint, getting 517 HP out of 6.3 liters is not a particularly stunning achievement. If they'd done that with 5 liters, I'd be impressed.

oh and for some of the people that dont know what they are talking about. The reason why different AMG cars have different power outputs has to do with the available space in the engine bay... The CLK/SLK (future) do not have space for a large dedicated intercooler, hence they use a small dedicated one, HENCE a smaller power output to protect the engine
