You said that this M178 will be used in the AMG GT and "that's it."
Well, isn't that misleading if the M177 and M178 are virtually the same/identical aside from maybe a few parts?
I mean technically, if all you were referring to was the M178 designation itself and nothing else (like the entire motor itself) than I have no quarrel with that statement but it smacked of implying that the W205 would have a different engine.
Which is not true. It might have a different designation (M177), but the motor will be the same (4.0L biturbo V8).
Anyway, I think this has largely been a misunderstanding. Just didn't sit right with me how you critiqued my first few posts.
If you want to disagree with power output predictions then that's fine but you don't know the final numbers with anymore certainty than I.
We'll see in a few months though.
