They pull down 312-314whp on a dyno. The standard motor has about 276whp.

They're everywhere.

Sucks though, no games in Chicago or Indy so I'm gonna have to make a trip to Milwaukee to see him play this year.

I'll tell you like anyone else in their right mind would, a forced induction engine is so much different from a NA one. even though my C63 had enough torque to create a black hole, the pull from the turbo/turbos(whatever you want to call the n55) feels so much different. different in a good way mind you. having an M or an AMG for the sake of just having them is overrated. I drove this car and loved it so i picked it up. It has the x factor for me (every time i get in the car i forget everything else). and with the options it has, imho it looks just as nice as an M3. definitely more unique than most other cars on the road. wow i type way too much......

That's really a good posting + interesting outlook from the start.Good Luck with the new Auto and once again a great read.
