Wikipedia puts it at 350hp, but I thought it was a lot more.

Only wondering as I was playing with a local and he was not able to pull away significantly. He was not impressed.:D

Understand that he might have had an auto box but even then, would they be that slow?

Any thoughts lads?

The older ones are 354bhp. But still, I doubt he was giving it full tilt.

Full tilt in one of those is like warp speed, even the older ones are seriuosly fast. Anything AMG is God-like engineering and pace

Well I have a Brabus (Smart 44 Car that is) 6.9sec for 0-62, not bad.

Have given a few guys in their sports cars a good run for their money :), certainly wipes the smug smiles off their faces after they have been posing at the lights.

trust me i sold my 249 ibiza and got a w210 E55 AMG standard 354 bhp and 391 lbs

If you were able to hold to it then it was either very sick or he wasn't trying

not even in the same league.:cartman:

13.3 secs for a 1/4 mile considering the size of it that is very quick, in comparison a well driven standard Cupra should do a 14.3 ish 1/4. So he couldn't have been trying if it was the newer one it would have been even quicker.
