Street racing is dangerous and illegal. Kill stories, or for that matter any posting about illegal, reckless and dangerous activities, is not permitted at Corvetteforum.com.

Take it to the track.

I don't know how many tail pipes they might have, but if it says AMG on the car, they have to be respected.--Mercedes Benz version of M cars for BMW. They do some amazing things with supercharged V-8s.

Yea he started it. As I turned off left he went by me & thats when I saw the big E at the left side of the trunk. As the speed limit was 50 he passed fast & that all I could see. If that was a AMG V 8 no wonder he hung back My Run Craps grabbed good on the Floridia Coral Rock Asphalt with little spin .....

I went to the Mercedes web site & they just show 3/4 head on views of the cars and don't list the AMG model option? But the V8 model cost BIG BUCKS like about $80 K I wonder if that it ??

If that was an AMG E55 you wouldn't be posting here about beating it E55's run very consistant mid to low 12 second quarter mile times. My E500 runs consistant 14.0's at 100 mph.
