OMG. I just played with a C32 AMG, holy crap, that was the most exhilarating experience ever.
And let me tell you, that car was FAST, dear LORD. So I was leaving the westside of seattle by UW and I see a brand new C32 AMG go up the on ramp, it's on. I pass him at about 80, he was immediately on the gas.
I accelerate up to about 120 to the off ramp onto 520 east, I took the 35mph off ramp pretty fast, nearly 70mph, and I lost him a bit on that, not much though. On 520 east we're trading back and forth, and when he's in front he can't put any distance between us, and when I'm in front it's the same.
Then we both take 405 North, and that's where the fun started. He had 2 other people in the car with him, waving their hands, going ape sh*t. I think one of them flipped me off or something, I didn't care. We got side by side, 4th gear at about 80mph and started accelerating. I swear I've never seen a more even pull than that...DEAD EVEN from 80mph to 125, it was amazing. We did about 3 of these pulls, with the same result everytime!
So, guy gives me a peace sign and goes about his way while I take my exit, man what a blast! Maybe if the driver was just by himself he would have pulled on me, but I dunno, I do know the AMS chip helped me
That Benz has some *serious* torque. I know our cars (chipped) are faster off the line...but once that benz gets rolling it's a monster.
This is strange cause, I really don't like to race cars on the public roads. The M3 a week ago and this car are the only cars I've even given a second thought to in awhile...sure was fun though

349hp stock...... those things are insane
<i>Engine: AMG-built intercooled supercharged 3,199-cc SOHC 18-valve 90° V6. High-pressure die-cast alloy cylinder block. Reinforced crankshaft and valvetrain. Alloy heads. Lightweight camshafts.
Net power 349 hp @ 6,100 rpm
Net torque 332 lb-ft @ 4,400 rpm
Intake system: Magnesium 2-stage resonance intake manifold increases runner length at lower rpm for improved response. Helical high-pressure supercharger with electromechanical clutch and liquid-to-air intercooler.</i>
Chipped S4 makes more torque but not as much HP...
Ben it's time for bigger turbos
(AUDI, it's time for RS-power in the states, in the sedan)<ul><li><a href="http://www.mbusa.com/brand/container.jsp?/models/main.jsp&modelCode=C32">http://www.mbusa.com/brand/container.jsp?/models/main.jsp&modelCode=C32</a</li></ul>
