"Ruth's Chris" refers to the name of a famous steakhouse, where "Ruth" is the name of the founder, Ruth Fertel, and "Chris" comes from the original restaurant she purchased called "Chris Steak House" - essentially, when she had to relocate due to a fire, she kept the "Chris" part but added her own name to create "Ruth's Chris Steak House"

The weight without driver is 2315 KG according to their website, around 5090 burger pounds. The Pilot Sport 4s is a pretty loud tire in wide configurations, I suggest a different, less sporty tire will take a lot of road noise away.

[@Psych0technic]

Surprising to see they still put on these dinosaurs from the factory, instead of new s5.

[@c190gtc]

@ well they did update the PS4s to be fair, hence the oem spec of the tire. And even after all those years it‘s still a pretty good tire. Problem is that the PSS5 is just as loud if not more, but I believe handles weight less good.

@@fortybwhodat5555 The teeth / zombie cut-off nose aren't that bad, since you can't see that from the inside. I feel like the driving experience in the latest M3 is over-hyped though. I drove one 3 months ago and 90% of the time it's a 320d with noisier tyres. Stupid fast, obviously, but on a public road just "going faster" isn't fun whatsoever. On track it's probably great, but the F series cars on public roads felt far more agile and exciting! The G80 isn't "bad" to drive, far from it, but it's definitely less fun.

Looking at how well BMW B58's have held up over the years even with tuning, I'm not too worried about this either. People tune the previous-gen 53's without many issues so they hold power just fine.

You could always option the E53 with the stock wheels, its really quiet when you want it to be, and it still looks nice IMO. Also, the tires you were on looked a but harshly used, especially the fronts. You could go for something less sporty, and I bet it would be better. The new E class is generally very soft and quiet, much more S class like than before. I cant say I have driven the E53 a lot, but the tiny bit I have, it feels too soft for my liking.

Mercedes-AMG never disappoints! The 2025 AMG E53 looks like a perfect blend of luxury, performance, and cutting-edge technology. Those sleek design updates and enhanced electric powertrain are truly impressive. Mercedes is clearly stepping up in the EV game-can’t wait to see this beauty on the road!

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

I saw one in person. Very pretty car.

[@LOLINC2010]

Thomas drives [no pun intended] me nuts when he ends every sentence with "right?"

[@dathorneli8514]

I wanna gather BMW and Mercedes designers togethers in one place and make a full check over their bodies and check the temperature and at the end ask them what the hell are you thinking when doing the design of newest cars.... And you two the S63 inside looks better than this EOS or whatever it is called. God damn it, now let`s see what Audi brings this year. If they fail I will switch my love to Kia and Cupra honestly.

[@eyezblazing3798]

Saw this car at Mercedes the other day and was blown away at how well designed this thing is

[@goatbaaad3711]

Listen, I’m not purposely a bmw fan boy, but from a base 10 year old 328i, to a brand new x5m, they just drive better than anything. They just do. The ride, the steering, the comfort, the interior’s quality feel, the heads up display, I mean everything just comes together so good to bring you; The Ultimate Driving Experience. That saying is not a lie. Every time I get in any other car, it may feel nice, but it’s never a BMW.

[@Sickwitit18]

It's completely different. Love the M4, but no bmw feels as luxurious as my S class. And until this current generation BMW interiors were lacking. they've always been great handling cars especially if you're a spirited driver, but that type of driving and stiff suspension isn't for everyone or every road. If you have 0 interest in spirited driving, like my old father, bmw simply doesn't feel as nice to drive

[@legendkiller1290]

Thomas killed me 😂1:43

[@jermainec2462]

Well at least it's a 6 cylinder...

[@agafonovas]

Those side strip decal things must go. Period.

Got mine here in Finland last day of year 2024 :) Went without the dark chrome as I like the normal chrome and the style of sporty mixed with business style, if that makes sense as a description. I I feel that with the white colors the dark chrome/etc just doesnt as look as good as the normal chrome. Also the exhaust tips blends with the rest of the car and becomes invisible. Also the rims I got are the silver version of this videos 21 inch rims so have to wait for the winter to be over before I can get to test the car with them. It is my first Mercedes and it is also my first poweful car. It is sad that the highest end AMG here in Finland are simply just so expensive that I do not want to spend that much money on a car. The reason this was "cheaper" and within my price range is the fact that it is a hybrid. The tax portion of the price was only around 4,1k€. (starting price with tax is already 121k€) To compare for example the AMG GT 4 door 43 models taves are already something like 60k€ while the 63 models are about 90k€ Not too fond of the EU regulations either that are bringing the exhaust sounds down. I was looking at a C43 years ago and I feel they were louder on idle than this car is while revving. Taking it slow in the winter and at the start now. Cant wait for spring/summer to come :)

[@YogeshYadav-cz3lf]

I don't hate the new TH Express format but not gonna lie i really miss the fun skits of the earlier videos... Please bring those back It was Gold🤌🏻

[@tigerhawk84]

I don't think that has gone anywhere, these are just where throttle house extra episodes go now. The long format funny skits videos are just saved for special vehicles or ones they feel they need to go into far more detail on. Like maybe comparison videos. They said it themselves in the intro, the express videos allow them to spend more time on "other projects" like in depth reviews, and road trips. I think they have like a cheap car challenge coming up.

[@netsch20]

They still will for the full videos, just not for the express.

[@helmetculture]

That's for throttle house. This was extra throttle house. Join throttle club house if you're ankles are worth a quarter

[@s_t_r_a_y_e_d]

congrats on completely missing the announcement that Throttle House Extra's are posted here now SMH

[@CHRlS.G]

600hp in a 53? Crazy

[@ThaoJarrett]

Tokenomics on point, a strong development fund, and a clear focus on community growth, Adaxum has it all!

[@MrCREEEPR]

“We put in master race mode sir” 🙃 “okkkkk so here’s the thing about the nammmeeeeee”

[@RideWithDanger]

Its a cool car, but to see an AMG with this price tag, a 3.0 L powerplant, and hauling well over 4000 pounds around, just doesn't sit right with me. Im glad they are still pumping out good horsepower figures though.

[@mikefeese]

Well look at that; welcome to Temecula. That seems like quite a journey for you, I hope you enjoyed our town.

[@IAmPdawg]

Work for Mercedes, driven the car around 1000 miles now. It’s… not an AMG. It’s a luxury car with performance. It’s fast in a straight line, it sounds… ok… but it feels so heavy and awkward to drive. It just feels like the AMG name/brand has been extremely watered down. The E53 looks INCREDIBLE, but god the cars just aren’t as fun to drive anymore.

[@Capt.nPeachy]

How do you feel about the CLE53 compared to this? I'm looking to buy a cle53 but was giving some thoughts to this e53 as well for electric short commutes.

[@IAmPdawg]

@ it feels like the exact same. I believe the drivetrains are identical, the torque converter makes the shifts feel a little strange sometimes. The CLE is a bit more sporty feeling and doesn’t feel quite as heavy on the brakes but the E class feels more refined luxury wise.

[@Capt.nPeachy]

@ thank you sir

[@kraenk12]

Bullshit. They’re much better to drive than the W212 was!

[@IAmPdawg]

@ you truly consider this an AMG?
