You can slap on some AMG badges like the rest of the morons, but you won't get the 550hp engine, the center console shifter, huge Brembo brakes, AMG suspension, wheels, custom ECU with Race Launch... Well, really the whole car, LOL. Just buy and AMG and stop trying to pose.
This one is a 2012 model. As for the engine, everything is going smooth so far no complaints. You can look up the car you want on kbb it’ll show if people had any reliability issues with it.
