Kropf's E55 AMG
On Talladega Superspeedway! Its 33° banked turns produce 1G force at 110 mph! The car stays centered on the track with hands off the wheel at 110 mph! At 55 mph, the car wants to dive to the infield, but at NASCAR speeds, it surely wants to fly off the wall!!
at Talladega Superspeedway
I rotated my Blackview 4K (8MP) DashCam view 33° so the Infield is level - to provide the steep perspective of the high bank turn! Consider that 1st responders must CLIMB UP this hill to attend to accident victims!!!
Quite an experience!

Some of my upgrades:

Kompressor ScatterShield: AMG55 Scattershield for Supercharger pulley (My post)
Chris's attention to detail matches Gottlieb Daimler's motto "The best or nothing at all",
even to adjusting the cover's mounts with a few washers and another tiny machined plate with welded nut.
8 Piston Calipers by Brembo painted same Burnt Copper: (AMG decals to be added)
AMG Dead Pedal that matches the E55 AMG Pedals:
