Went from around 20 a few times. Pulled on him each time right away. Did one run from a dig he jumped out ahead by about a car but reeled him back in once i finally got some traction. Good runs… might be some videos on the way

The outcome wasn’t a surprise at all… AMGs are no joke. The videos blow but sound good, so when they’re done uploading, I’ll host.

The rolls I would jump out quick while he spun then he would pull past me.  
Dig was everything I expected. I rocked him till about 75-80 and he whipped by me pretty good after that.

Nope, bone stock. I’m on the fence about modding because I’ll probably be trading it in shortly, on a '12.

Yeah man. I think the MB is underrated at 472hp and a lot lighter than the Jeep with 420hp.

I love how all our cars are still about as fast as they used to be, but they are actually nice looking and a hell of a lot nicer to ride in. Progress. :tup:

X…

That’s crazy, I didn’t know AMG’s were packing that much power.

Now they are true DDs too. Other than the VR4 which was just as quick and saw snow as often as possible, this is definitely a great daily compared to some of the other crap ive had. We’ve all grown up a bit. Haha
