Damn ass 🤨

[@codykleoppel6919]

Put a AMG 6.2L in it. Make it a true successor to the SLS and worthy of the AMG badge. The AMG GT 63 powered by DDE. The GT3 car was powered by the m156 anyway.

[@chazzerbox131]

6.2 would be sick one of the best sounding motors ever made imo

[@H4mz4078]

M156 is the c63 engine the amg gt3 uses a further developed sls engine and its called the m159 engine but thats probely way to expensive so a tuned m156 would do the job and yes please build the gt3 race car with a 6.2 engine

[@coopertilson1392]

supercharged 6.2 would be sick

[@chazzerbox131]

@@H4mz4078 in the Uk you can get a m159 for like 5/10k £ so around 12/13 thousand $ if my exchange is right not sure how much they go for I’ve in 🇺🇸?

[@hksp]

mark rau @ azcycle should have all those in stock

[@UnrealChris]

DDE should really sponsor this build for Mike. I know they pay him well, but it would be really cool to do him this solid especially that this car is providing us some great content!

[@EuroJerk]

Its a business expense for someone whether its the channel or Mike.

[@rutegerd]

Oh don't worry! They give it hard in the back end for Mike! They will cover him one hole or another... Maybe even in the front end at the same time. It's wild at DDE!

[@Mikeluul]

The fact that Dave came in with the attitude of lets figure this out. That's the shit that brings me here, DDE💪🏽

[@Finady]

Agreed

[@thewolfchild]

I dunno who Mark thinks he's foolin with this "I'm not sure I'm gonna keep this car, it's got too many problems!" He LOVES this shit! Look at how face lights up when he's describing all the failure that must be occurring for his AMG to look like torpedoed U-Boat. He loves fixing this stuff. He loves playing detective and figuring problems out. And he loves explaining everything to the camera, almost like a shop teacher. He's totally in his element, he's glowing.

[@houmanhamzavi5611]

Mike and DDE is a match made in heaven. A professional who is so good at being energetic on camera, keeping the viewer hooked through story telling and asking open questions, and delineating procedures in a concise and informative way coupled with a production company that does a very successful job of exploiting viewer’s attention span through music selection, angles, effects, transitions, etc

[@alman6581]

Well said - he makes breakdowns watchables

[@suislump]

And feeding you knowledge! I feel like every video with Mike is an opportunity to learn something new about the cars in the fleet!

They need to put up HD outdoor cameras and mount them to the roof and point them at The Block, then whenever someone is doing donuts or goes flying into the back before the camera gets there, it would be captured on the roof cams

screw the 1000 hp, use the real amg gt3 engine, side exit exhausts, one of the best sounding race cars imo, the people seem to lean towards that more, you don't need 1000 hp to be a track weapon, trust me Michael Essa

[@Heezer-69]

Once the fleet is up and running you will have the best collection.. Its a nail biter because from our eyes, your success is measured by builds and your additions to the channel. However, you guys made it through many challenges we dont see or and plans we dont know about. We may be a little upset at this moment that some stuff isnt running. But no one is doing what you do PLUS daily uploads. We cant wait for these builds they are so good. DDE fam sticking around till the bitter end

NA 4 rotors tend to sound like v12s whent hey are revved up.

[@ATLAS_879]

Sorry to say, it's cool but terrible idea

[@IfcproductionsLLC]

Nah horrible idea honestly, mike has very little experience with rotaries, let alone 4 rotors lmaoo. I think a pro charged s65 engine from the e92 m3 would be like the perfect controversial build and its very feasible for mike

[@LyndenBairstow]

As much as I love the idea, any engine would be cheaper than a 4 rotor alone. The eccentric shaft alone would cost more than a replacement Mercedes engine. 😂
