I would never take them to a track though. Just too heavy.
Really? I live to impress valets... it gives my existence meaning. Sometimes sarcasm is hard to detect in writing.

But what is the point of having a 500HP+ car with lowered and tuned suspension if you don't take it to a track? Freeway driving is a bore, and unfortunately 99.999% of the AMGs see most of their life on the freeway going to work or a shopping mall.

BTW- I think you might be surprised what a E class or C class AMG can do on a track. Never driven and S Class on a track personally.
