I got something different

WeeMan335 · 08-27-2009, 11:13 AM

I am not sure if this is true but some one told me with Benz and even AMG models you can use 89oct gas and it perform just fine even in warm/hot weather. if that is the case it thats a huge benefit.

I haven't heard that. I mean all cars can run a lower octane in a pinch but at the cost of higher fuel consumption and reduced power.

Nah, it's not true. Engines are tuned to use a certain grade of fuel, if you put something else, then it will just retard timing to compensate for engine knock and you will lose performance.

haha, nah.

I've been looking at AMG for a bit, just got tired of waiting for the 2010 updates.

Didn't you get an E55 or something? I didn't get to see it at the Fair Oaks meet.

pdjafari · 08-27-2009, 04:15 PM

NICE Juan, congrats. White's the best color but I'm biased. I know the old W204 C class the white was called Alabaster White, but i'm not sure if its still called that??

bubbletea 4 me · 08-27-2009, 08:54 PM

sick car though, real jealous..lol. bring it out to the meet next time.. i know at least one other person that are in the process of gettin one. def. want to try to run one and see how bad i'll get pulled. get that baby tuned and u'll turn it into a true monster.

I did pick up an old-school W210 E55 as a project car (my new money pit

), yeah we missed each other that rainy night

Your AMG is light years ahead of mine of course but the concept is the same

Can't wait to see it. Cheers.

Just got it this week.

I'll come over to one of the meets soon. I am still a BMWCCA member until 2011.

hhkim · 08-28-2009, 02:37 PM

My old housemate got one of these, I remember every morning in the winter after it snowed, he would have such a horrible time trying to get out of an inclined driveway. Even with snow tires. Its how I knew it was time to wake up cause I would hear his tires just rotating in the snow. But the car sounds so nice when you first start it. I love that sound.

FrankoQ · 08-28-2009, 06:58 PM

Congrats Juan. More pics please!!!
