SSV vs E63 AMG ..

[Jackalope]

You can build the 6.2 or even the 6.0 to make more power N/A then the AMG engines but it'll sure cost you!

Case in point years ago I built a 1972 Fire Bird with what started out life as a 400 (6.6liter) Pontiac engine then I had it bored out so all 8 cylinders could be sleeved and except 455 (7.5 liter) pistons. Then throw in TONS of machine work and a spin ballanced bottom end to 15,000 rpm and the end result was a big block Pontiac that displaced just about 428 (7.0 liters) and made a dyno tested 567hp and 632ft lbs of tq AT the rear wheels. With a full interior and in street trim the car would run high 10's at 137mph and had a top speed as certified at Daytona National raceway of 197mph.

God I miss that car!!!!

Probably still cost less then buying the Mercedes though!

At calder friday night drags i saw this exact scenario.
A bloke came in his AMG in a suit, probably straight from work. It was his first time.
He went up against a VE SSV that looked and sounded like it had some money spent on it, judging by the idle it had a cam and exhaust.
The AMG smashed it off the line and all the driver had to do was plant the accelarator.

(See my point how anyone can say anything on the net)
