Bro, I would love to do it again and share with you guys but it was an invite only event and my buddy whom is a MB fan was sent an invite and could bring one guest...and he chose me


On that note we should post some S Fla events for everything from Audi, BMW, Lexus, MB...etc...this was an amazing opportunity and I def gained a lot of respect for AMG in both performance and handling. I was under the impression these were just go straight cars and never imagined throwing these huge cars around corners and maintaining full control...

AMG is doing a tour of the U.S. with all these cars, I attended the same event in San Diego a few months ago, it was at a local speed festival and it was open to the public, anyone with a valid U.S. driver license can drive all those cars. I think it was crazy for them to allow any 16 years old who just got their license to drive a 500+ hp $100k+ car.

Maybe I am never a big AMG fan, I think it was ok, I drove a SL63 and left. I would love to drive a SLS but that wasn't available, did they let you drive the SLS?

I kind of feel that by having event like these open to the general public, decreases the exclusivity for those cars and the brand.

It would be like you just pay $150k for a SL63, a punk teenage kid would tell you they just trashed one at the drive event and think it wasn't all that
