AMG's are tuning jackhammers.

If you want to build up an exotic killer for cheap, buy a used AMG and drop a stage 3 kit in it and laugh as you're passing Lambos and Enzos!!!

I was watching this just earlier today. I can't remember how many times I've seen this video. The exhaust note on those E55s is amazing!!

Looks like fun. Beating unmodified exotics is easy to do. What's difficult is when you go up against other modified fast cars

you just want to see an E63 get slaughtered by a (modded) E55 huh?

look for the brake cooling vents on the lower bumper:

These beasts can be had for under 30k now.. Here is a black beauty with 54k on the clock for 29k in my neck of the woods.. There is one for 27k also.. I may have to ditch that slow black car sleeping in my garage to make space for this one
