haha AMG's are junk.... one of my best friends has a SLR, S65AMG, G63AMG and just got rid of the E55 AMG all cars/suv have less then 15000 miles.... i am not joking at least one of them are in the shop at one time, sometime multiple cars.

and his 03 Z06 with 40,000 miles hasn't seen the dealership (been to the 1/4 track 3 times, Road America 2 times, Joliet Autobahn 8 times)

as for value he bought the SLR for $510,000 plans on selling it in the spring for $300,000.

I rest my case

You know someone is out there right now making tires for this beast to give the owner the edge as it deserves.
since when did a 12.2 @ 109 w/ the 4000 become slower than 12.4 @ 110 w/ a 3200? LOL LOL LOL

damn kyle, I told you I have those very same overalls I wear to work You prolly drove right by my house too huh, I see how it is you sleep in the same room with 5 guys in Memphis and get scared and never call. Was it the words I said to you or my mask. Why is it you never call Kyle? That hurts I take offense to the caveman remark. I have delt with my manly hairy self for so many years and that hurts me dearly. Damn I need to go to bed its been a long week and its only Weds.

Thats fast, 130K hell a few years ago they were paying almsot every bit of that for over stickered Z06's when they first came out. Besides, someone is gonna buy them. Just to say they got them. Guess I need to do another tour overseas.
