to be honest the car is much faster than I expected, the handling is much much better. The torque curve is far superior to the 65 and it far surpasses the 55. At times the car feels faster than the 430 and 997TT. From what my contact tells me the car is a hair slower than the SLR around the track and straight up (and that was by force, not by choice)
On a side note, I despised the look of the car until I saw it in person, and after getting to spend a good amount of time with the car and witnessing the comfort and improvements they made to the car, I must admit I now love the car.

A hair slower than the SLR and better torque curve than the 65?
How is that possible? It's got over 738 lb.-ft. of torque???
So basically, it'll turn laps almost as fast as a GT3? What did they do, lighten the car by 1000lbs.?
This I gotta see...

I also have a few questions with.. ''it turns a time a hair slower then an SLR'' The engine is the same (63)and the SL is one of the heavier AMG's.
hmm maybe the gear box is helping the new engine out?
could it be revised suspension work and other little goodies?
