that's the point. the 65 is so badly traction limited that it performs in line with the 55 unlessl you are either rolling or well above those speeds. adding more power via ECU upgrades will not only ruin the tranny as per MB (it can't take any more torque), but will also further hinder any perforrmance measure which starts from a dead stop.

All the AMG cars are traction limited my C55 had no traction whatsoever off the line. Sucks having that much power and no way to use it too 100% capacity!

Joe's New Ride
Britt;
I would have to agree with the majority on the wheels. Those wheels definitely rock!! It is not going to be easy finding after markets wheels that top those.
I would have to agree with Rob on the get together. Maybe next weekend since this weekend looks like a wash out!!
Congrats on the new ride Joe!!!

Screw the stock wheels.
This sucker needs deep dish and must have 20s. Brutal power. Not exactly a canyon carving fun car.
I don't know why you're all excited about the stock wheels. No dish. And very common looking. Same style as those on other AMG cars.
BBSs are too racey for this car. This is where HRE really steps in and makes it the best that it can be.
