quick break part 2..

Here's a link to the full sized wallpaper of the car.. in all senses, it is quite a stunning car.

You should be able to see the xenon headlights already (that blue-cyan colour) which are claimed to reduce glare to oncoming motorists. TP however does not allow xenon headlights to be fitted onto local cars unless they are factory fitted, meaning they come with the stock cars. (Evidently if you mount the xenon lights wrongly it will cause not just more glare, its fricking like staring in the sun when you look at your rear mirror etc.. Hehe.. reminds me of that nice song by U2)

Oh where was I? Hehe.. dream cars don't cost cheap lah its price is quoted at $418,888 only. What most people learn in a lifetime probably.. -_-"
Anyway AMG is like the sporting arm of Mercedes Benzand they are kind of 'highly regarded' in a way. Each engine that has been constructed by AMG will be signed by the engineer in charge as a 'sign of quality workmanship etc etc.'

Quick facts about the Mercedes Benz E55 AMG..

Engine layout: V8, 5439 cc (your road tax $$ fuel $$ fly away...)

Maximum power: 476 hp/bhp (for some reason bhp= braking horsepower..)

Maximum torque: 700 Nm (if i remember correctly, avail. from 2000 rpm onwards, so if traffic jam you accidentally tapped the accelerator... -_-")

Top speed: 250km/h (most mortals won't need to go anywhere near that..)

Century sprint (0-100km/h): 4.7 seconds (Faster than Impreza WRX STi & Evo VII/VIII.. no more fears of silly ah bengs/crazy taxi drivers.. lol!)

All of this which means.. its a supercar for the even richer than rich ah peks.. haha but its ok to have dreams what.. since its a dream might as well dream big!
Hohoho.. back to reality.. PC2174.. the module taught by the 1/2 million research grant lecturer.. basket!
