yep, I could put a triton V10 in and twin turbo it and still not have a chance.

That car rocks!

My CV has $2000 in it, so I cant gripe to much.

No idea what the output would be, it really depends on the people at AMG.

And yes, at 1/4 throttle, at 20mph the back end was more loose then a prostitute of 30 years

That wasn't inappropriate at all.... O_O

Found out why my truck didn't want to start last night......

I ran it out of gas again. LOL

I only put maybe a gallon or so in the gas can and put that in the tank, so it wasn't much. I got up under the hood and looked down the carb...it was dark down there, but I didn't see any gas spraying out. I also heard the accelerator pump squeaking, which means it's run dry and no gas is being moved inside the carb. lol
