    Re: Power and efficiency

    When I bought the car almost 2 yrs ago I made the mistake of having the dealer coat it
    they screwed it up
    I took it to Premier Detailing in Youngwood PA (highly recommended)
    they repaired the damage better than 90% and applied car pro cquartz
    so far seems to be holding up after 15 months

    been refreshing with reload, pita to use, streaky on black
    planning on switching to:
    wash with reset
    wet coat with hydro2
    seems to have positive reviews

    Re: Power and efficiency

    now that`s impressive

    my NAG1 transmission (which I believe is a lower end older Mercades unit-I know if you fully upgrade it you just insert AMG parts) turns 3400 or so at 90, where I`m lucky to get 16mpg

    I probably can`t even get 27 mpg going 41 in the bottom end of 5th gear, but then again I drive a land yact compared to that finely crafted German Automobile you posted


    --as far as you reload story.. a lot of black vehicle owners here (including myself) have had good success with Gyeon Cure (similar to reload)

    Thanks
    I`ll have to read up on `cure`
    it was still >27 mpg at 1100 miles
    heavy 3900 lb car, luggage for 3 week trip, ac on, 2 passengers and a nightmare traffic jam in st louis lol

    You are right, gearing and low rpm torque has alot to do with it

    Re: Power and efficiency

    That low end torque has a ton to do with the supercharger under the hood. Which AMG model - C63? Looking at next vehicle to replace a bigger subdivision (EXP EL) with a possible A6 3.0T

    c63s
    it is a great all around car plus runs like a scalded ape lol
    it has a 4 liter twin turbo v8
    the turbos are inside the v as are the exh ports
    the intake ports on the outside
    the opposite of the normal configuration
