Dang! Yep, there's a guy that works in the same building as me. I'd heard so much about the AMG-built Mercedes and I have been waiting for him to jump on me for about 6 months. Finally, about 2-3 months ago, he did. We were leaving work and when the light changed to take the Interstate ramp home, he tried to pass me and I watched him fall back pretty quickly. Later, I looked it up and it wasn't so powerful and I felt bad a bout beating the guy so bad. It was a E-55 AMG ... not one of the faster ones. Anyway, I let off at about 80 and slowed down ... maybe he would have done better on top-end, but he sure didn't look like he had much up top, either.
Saw the guy about a week later and said if I ever want to sell my car to give him first option to buy ... !!!!
