Very true... but worthless power on the street.

I've had a few cars before the M6 with 500+ hp / 550+ ftlbs on the dyno and they are useless on the street. Even the M6 stock as it stands will just blow the tires out in the first few gears on the street... that's with dyno numbers in the 400s hp / 300s ftlbs.

Unless you have very deep pockets I wouldn't be changing pulleys and messing with the tune on AMG cars.

Try to find an E55 and 06 M5 to drive, tell me what you think of both

PS: CTS-V newest gen is a good choice too... pretty cheap if you get the first year production cars. Amazing bang for the buck and take mods well. Also just a Chevy motor, so cheap to work on.
