And regarding the AMGs, my understanding as why they run the times that they do is that they dont get traction...at all. The Top Gear vid about the CL65 demonstrates it pretty well. And I think manuals for Benzs are a pretty new thing, as a while back, the big complaint was that you couldn't get a AMG with a stick.
And Dinan...word on the DSG. I hear its rather yummy in the new 911s...

Yeah I thought Mercedes just started putting in manual trannies in the new C class.
I'm not sure how the stock suspension is, but the L-tuned one (springs and shocks) is actually pretty decent. It's a nice mix between sport and luxury. But it's not as good as the stock sports suspension on the 540. That thing could hug the road like it was on rails. (considering it's a 4 door saloon)
