torque is what u feel. horsepower is for the ego. if u consider ur M5 is a torque monster then drive any AMG car with the 55 sc motor for the same price range. if u can find a 65 even better. i'm not talking about handling so let's leave the ''driving MB is like having sex with a thick condom'' comment. torque is addicting, hard to give up! tell me about it...

Arling you wanted my review so here you go short and sweet ...
If you want a boring, fast luxury sedan keep the AMG.
If you want an incredibly fun, fast luxury sedan trade it for an M5 like I did.
The M5 is an absolute BLAST to drive compared to the AMG. The fact that the AMG is a little faster does not even come close to offsetting this IMO.
In my case, you couldn't pay me to trade back.
Oh, and if you want the M5 to be a little quicker just slap on a 100 shot of NOS and it will do 11.5. If this car had a better 60 ft time (that low end torque thing) it would be faster than that LOL

Well I'm hoping that the 997TT is continued evolution, so not the same as buying a "new engine".
Also my deposit is for a 997TT S Cab with DSG/ or whatever it is going to be called. I'm assuming that my car is 12-18 mos away. Any bugs will hopefully be worked out by then.

have u ever bothered by the laggy SMG III? i don't hate the car, the look, but the tranny is what bothers me the most. i'll have time to decide. AMG is not leaving yet. in fact i really like it surprisingly, really. i know it might be boring but it just fits my need perfect. it's fun for everyday & for weekend excitement i grab a different key.

There are two issues that people talk about in regards to the SMG - speed and smoothness. The speed of the shifts are almost entirely dependent on throttle position and driving mode - with your foot down in S6 the shifts are so fast and hard it's like getting shot out of a cannon. As far as smoothness, once you learn how to do the slight lift during gear changes it's as smooth as any other automatic. It's so slight that a good way to imagine it is not to noticeably move your shoe but just slightly lifting your foot inside your shoe. After while you don't even think about it, you just do it. People who complain just haven't learned how to do it properly ...

to give a little background info. i'm not new to SMG. had a M3 before & it was fun when i'm in the good mood. but sometimes u just want to be less involved when u drive a daily car...

Actually I think torque is fun. My TT is definitely faster than my E55 but the E55 is just an effortless jump and smile- that is torque. Not to put down the M5, which is a great car, but while the M5 is getting into its "fun zone" that boring E55 just might "slip" by.

AMG's are FAR from boring buddy lol.. But the M5 is more versatile, each are fun in their own respect!
