I must admit, I have been beaten by the AMG bug lately. Since AMG becomes part of Mercedes, are AMG cars really that much better than the stock cars? I understand they have better power plant, but are they relatively reliable? The reason I ask is that I have been eyeballing 2001 or later model CLK55 AMG. Any thoughts?
