i like the amg cars but my god theya re going back in time with making them so ******* heavy. some of them are over 4,000lbs
I dunno what brabus does differently to the cars but this is from an article talking about a stock sl65 amg...
At the top of the Mercedes-Benz 'pile' sits the SL 65 AMG roadster, the ultimate open-top Mercedes-Benz aimed at sun-worshiping performance hedonists. Slotting above the 'mere' SL 63 AMG, the SL 65 features a 6.0 liter V12 engine that pumps out an astounding 612 horsepower, an eight horsepower bump from before. Even more impressive is the 738 lb-ft. of torque from the motor, a figure usually reserved for big rigs and maybe even tugboats.

haha dude you need to chill on the benz hating. My roomie has a C32 thats modded and put down 350whp on a dynodynamics. thats about 380+ on a dynojet. car is rated 350hp from the factory. So he would definitely put some hurting to you. My other friend has a C55 thats supercharged... I wont even go into that. MB's are just fine if they have the right mods. They also have an interior that would put any camaro or firebird to shame.
Also, I just looked up those c32's, they seem to barely trap 100mph, are you joking? Unless that car is trapping around a consistent 109, ill stick with my $8000 car..

Considering my car is worth 8 grand, compared to a benz being worth like 80.. I WOULD HOPE THEY HAVE A BETTER INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR! And how is 350rwhp alot? Thats more like 200hp in GM ratings, yes im bias on benz just because every **** that has one thinks its the **** and its so fast and 99% of the time it cant even keep up with a stock ls1. Bmw's, audis, all that good **** I LOVE, but benz is just overpriced, overrated crap.

Naw its just around where I live a few old guys and the kids who drive the parents benz's always think there so fast because of how benz overrates the **** out of their cars. bmws and audis, all the other **** like that, the kids I know with them and people who drive them are all really nice people to hang around. The benz people are stuck up morons who I enjoy beating the **** out of then shoving it in their face that my $8k car just beat there overrated overpriced benz. Yes.. I AM bias against benz, they make **** now compared to the old days, the old days being the 80s and early 90s when it was respectful to drive around in a benz, not just drive around in a benz like today because of the name even though the quality is junk and overrated.

Just for giggles she pulled a 13.2 @ 106mph at HRP in November, stock down to the filters...Not fast by any means I know, but it's not bad for a 7 yr old supercharged V6 family car.
But back to the vid, that ZR1 absolutely destroyed that Brabus...It really makes you see how much power to weight comes into affect!
