Heading home from class and run into a stock 2015 on the way home (non PP/auto). Took the long way as I recognized the owner and expected a good opportunity for a run to arise with patience and sure enough a couple lanes opened up on an uncrowded highway. I got over and waited on him to get beside me, gave him the nod and proceeded to count it out to 3. We ran from about a 60-130 and I had a solid 2 car lengths by the end of it. AMG is stock as well, I realize it took a blower to do it but still not bad for a 10 year old 4 door imo. Can't wait to get a pulley/tune on it and see how it stacks up with bolt on 5.0's

My uncle owned this one since 2009 and gave me a great deal on it this summer. It's the new daily and I love it! They really are impressive cars all around

Nice! I raced a CLS55 years ago in my boosted Vette, it wasn't pretty for him, but I've always loved AMG Benz's. I actually almost purchased a 2011 E63 AMG but what really held me back was the fear of maintenance. Lol, I ended up getting a 2010 CTSV, which I love.

Certainly can't go wrong with a V. Maintenance worries me as well but I got too good of a deal to pass up on. Plus with only 48k miles I haven't seen any issues yet (besides a stupid window regulator that cost $400). My current plan is to drive it til graduation then sell it while the mileage is still <70-80k and pick up a '13+ E63 AMG (gotta have that AWD) if depreciation has placed them in my price range that is lol. Those cars will run 10's with down pipes and a tune.

Not to self. Don't race cars like this amg benz.

Lol yeah if I saw that beside me I wouldn't know what it was. As soon as it spanked me I'd have to seriously think something must be wrong w my car until I figured out what it was that just whooped me
