Thanks!
Yes, definitely stock. It has AMG sport wheels and paddle shifters and stuff. No ABC (active body control) though... not an option my dad was interested in. I saw a video review of a car with it, and the tester was throwing the car all over the place like it was a true sports car (I doubt he was having too much fun doing it though... it's such a heavy car, even with the all-aluminum body... it's just not a sports car, it's a roadster for straight line cruising.
The exhaust is actually pretty nice... like rumbling thunder almost. 4.7L twin-turbo V8. Although it only revs to somewhere around 6k RPM.
