I've heard the supercharged V8 has its share of problems, but I haven't heard specifics. Rather grumbling about the car in general.

For a car like that you gotta pay to play.

if you have to ask, you can't afford to maintain it

9/25/2010 5:33:44 PM

the fact that most dealerships will not sale you an extended warraty on AMG vehicles says alot. Mercedes doesnt even stand by their own product

9/25/2010 6:37:07 PM

Sell is a verb, sale is a noun. Learn your own native tongue.

Im looking for a 2nd car, needs to be 4 door and fast. Came across one for fairly cheap....now i know why.....

9/27/2010 5:54:42 PM

get a Taurus SHO (new body style) or a g8

9/27/2010 6:09:46 PM

^that's like suggesting a Casio to somebody who is shopping for Rolex

9/27/2010 6:24:29 PM

found a 07 ctsv that might work

9/27/2010 6:50:08 PM

drool

9/27/2010 9:22:49 PM

get the E55. you only live once*




*don't buy if you hate replacing the tires often.

9/27/2010 11:29:01 PM

i like the caddy but i hear they blow rear diffs on the reg

9/28/2010 11:46:29 AM

^I think that's only an issue if you like to do burnouts, since that model suffers from horrendous axle hop.

9/28/2010 12:22:57 PM

i've read that the rear diff is not a good match for the torque produced by the LS2. its weak and some have had to replace it two or three times in a short amount of time.

9/28/2010 4:25:57 PM

300C SRT-8? S6? M5? The potential super sedan shopper has many choices.

4-door and fast and a little classy, I'd probably be looking most intently at a CTS-V or an S6. But that's just me.

9/28/2010 5:31:16 PM

^^supposedly after 2005 they redesigned the rear diff parts so its a non issue....

9/28/2010 5:43:36 PM

NICE!!

Saw a C63 AMG today for the 1st time in a few months and I had forgotten how vicious AND beautiful that car looks... way better than the M3, RS4, and IS-F.

And 0-60 mph in 3.9 sec doesn't hurt, plus handling that's just a little behind the M3!

automatic transmission only

instant disqualification...it might as well be FWD.

9/30/2010 9:24:30 AM

^I'd overlook that fact for the C63. The transmission is very sport oriented and knows what you want to do. It responds faster than a typical automatic and even blips the throttle on downshifts.

Plus the exhaust sounded like pure nirvana when I was pacing one around Roebling Road Raceway last year

OEPII1, C63 AMGs aren't often spotted. They are much rarer than M3s (another draw to them in my opinion)

9/30/2010 9:45:22 AM

You can get an SHO deep in the 12s with little mods. But fuck it. Its your money. You thought about a genisus

^^^ still has a torque converter

9/30/2010 4:02:24 PM

^^^ still has ford on the front of it....

9/30/2010 4:32:50 PM

^^The inner drag monster in me doesn't care.

True, and in general AMGs are far rarer than their M counterparts.

Saw a burnt orange C63 AMG in the parking at work today... my God, that color is so perfect for the brutal sexy look of that car....

Also today a G55 AMG in an amazing shade of brown. I don't know what that shade is called, but it is kind of like holding a glass of Pepsi/Coke in front of the sun. Fucking gorgeous!

Rarer because they aren't nearly as good.
