**VIDEO** My ML63 AMG
Made a short video of my ML63 AMG - you can hear how fast this thing shifts. It's damn loud! Never realised until I saw the video. Car is totally stock. This blows my Cayenne Turbo away hands down.

Also take in mind we're using 91 octane fuel and am 4100ft above sea level.

Link to the video:

Nice vid. I only have an ML350, but am amazed at how smooth the 7 speed tranny shifts. It feels like a CVT.

I loved my AMG E55. Those emgines are the real deal, sick fast. They just keep getting better every year. Once they either supercharge or twin turbo that 6.3 engine, its gonna be totally out of control.

Sounds amazing!

How evenly is the torque distributed?

From a dead standstill it kills the Cayenne - the turbolag on the Cayenne is damn irritating!

On higher speeds I'd say they're very even, but from 0-80mph the ML is WAY quicker.

Most of the power is still going to the rear. You can feel the front pulling a little bit when the car is under WOT.

Nice video, the ML63 does sound great. It's definitely faster at pretty much any speed than the Cayenne Turbo. On the highway the Cayenne Turbo S (PSM off) and ML63 (ESP on) are dead even from 60-110. From 0-60 you have to power break on launch with the Cayenne to stay with the ML, otherwise the ML will destroy the Cayenne due to the lag.
