To each their own but it doesn’t sound like Money well spent on the AMG.

Yeah, he had to be really incompetent.

Motor Trend says that car does 0-60 in about 3 seconds, and 1/4 mile just over 11 seconds.

I got rear ended pretty good right before Memorial Day but it was driveable, axleback all pushed, nasty looking. I'm driving it to the body shop the Tuesday after the holiday and a cursed Hellcat Redeye comes up on me and starts popping the front end and trying to get me to roll. Dejectedly kept driving the speed limit. It's bad form to go from a roll when it looks like a dinosaur smashed your ass end...

I agree, I would never pay that kind of money for the car...

Mercedes site say 3.3 sec 0-60... https://www.mbusa.com/en/vehicles/mo...s/sedan/e63w4s

Either way, for $125k he should have been able to beat me...

I guess we could go on and on about these overly priced cars but I have to mention the m4 and M4 GTS especially. Crazy $$$ Yet the SS gives them a run for their money, no pun intended!

You can find some high mileage AMG's under 20k now, I've seen at least one modded one around my area that keeps trying to race everybody.
It was a E63 AMG and we were even for the short go we had at it.

Mustang revved at me on the freeway; i think he wanted to race or something. I refused to bite and he ended up cutting me off in traffic.

Another Mustang, at a different time, revved at me too, but all we did was just run past each other back and forth at redline, so obviously no ill intentions there

Mustangs are always revving at me, especially if they hear me downshifting while approaching a stop. It seems like there is a 10 to 1 ratio of mustangs and challengers to Camaros in my area and everyone with a V8 wants to rev. I think the rareness of 6th gen SS's in the area gets me extra attention.
