It's a beautiful car. I love Yellow. One of my favorite colors next to Sonic Blue. And this AMG is nothing special, supposedly mid to high 13's. It weighs somewhere around 5000lbs. lol

I know those heavy bricks well. Every old rich dude in Holland had one of those or a C63 and tried to race me on the roads there. Also my car is an '04 that is Screaming Yellow not the zinc yellow.

Yeah I saw that, hence I edited my post. I'm sure most of those Benz drivers got a nice view of those shiny taillights. lol

I had Borla system on the car but it seemed to restrict the car much so I took it off.. Great way to save 35lbs..

Slow for a drag car but fast for a street car... But for the mods/power I make.. I think it does fairly well and there's vids to prove that if I recall there's maybe a handful of cars in this area that can hang with packy like I did.

hmmmm predictions on a race coming up... 300c str8 with d1sc making 700whp.. vs yours truley.. I'm thinking it might be a close race. He makes great power but I'm sure he has 1,000-1,200lbs on the vette. If from a dig I know I'll win for sure due to traction issues but how about from a roll? I should have my car race ready by next weekend and hopefully this race as well in the same weekend. I think the driver is about 210lbs.. I'm 160lbs.

Just to correct somethings, gear changing in a transaxle vette has no effect on the speedo, it is run on the trans not axles or diff.
