The scary part is the car is basically a stock 2005 R40.

It has these hopups:

Mugen clutch
HPI optional brake disc

The only setup changes are a solid front diff, silver front springs and 2 degree rear toe. Seems to suit the parkinglot track perfectly.
That is great news to hear AMG. This goes to show that horsepower is not everything!! Were you running any diff oil in the rear?

thanks Jason
