Stunning.....congratulations on a brilliant purchase!!
What options are on it?
I'll be very interested to hear how you get on with it, as I'm currently considering one as my next financial black hole!!
Jazzer
Hahah - No additional options bar the wheels and the glass. Kept it very basic as it is fully loaded anyhow! You could add the power pack (i can live without the 0.1 reduction in 0-60), you can add a slip diff (if I knew what it does I am sure id want it) and you can add carbon pack for the extra lightness it gives you (honestly looks good on white sh*t on the black).What options are on it?

Financial black hole - interesting you should say that as I think this one could be different. Yes ill drop shed load on fuel and yes ill pay lots in tax / insurance but read something that these will hold value. You think most AMG's have been close to 100k to get hold of (i am prob wrong) but this is within reach. Given the deal I got as well I think I could come out this flat when I sell next year....

That looks stunning in stealth black suit. Congrats. DJ
However I fear you are going to be sorely disappointed come next year if you think you will get same back.

It doesnt have an LSD?DJ
How can it be an option on an AMG and not standard?!
No offence intended to our poster here.....just a statement of fact!!

Limited Slip Differential, or LSD, is a type of axle gearing that allows both wheels sharing an axel to lock up and spin at the same time when one wheel starts to slip. For this reason, limited slip differentials allow power to be transferred to the wheel with the most traction. LSD maximizes traction and makes controlling oversteer easier like when drifting. LSD is essential to building a drift car 
Advantages of limited slip differential include less inside wheelspin when accelerating out of a tight corner and more horsepower to the ground
If you want to know if your car has LSD, here is how to find out. Do a burnout and see if your car left one or two tire marks. 2 tire marks = LSD. If you know your car has a limited slip differential and it only leaves one tire mark, the LSD may need to be serviced or replaced.
^^^ all the above taken from the internet, but pretty much sums up why some people prefer cars with an LSD

Really the LSD only makesa difference if youre preferred driving style is sideways or 'balls out' on track. Otherwise there is naturally more than enough grip for the road.
