Welcome to Gearhead or Douchebro! This feature was inspired by an Oppo member asking what was wrong with loud exhaust. To answer that question, Gearhead or Douchebro will present the Oppo community with a video and you have to decide; Gearhead or Douchebro! Hopefully we can establish a baseline, a yardstick for measuring exhaust and engine note on a scale of Poseur to Proper.

For our first installment of Gearhead or Douchebro I bring you !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Mercedes 560 SEL AMG.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

What we have here is a 4v to 2v swap, straight-pipe cutout, cam grind and custom heads.

Here's the video...

So, Oppo, what do we think? Gearhead or Douchebro?

(this being the first installment of GH or DB, let's try and set the bar high)

Gearhead. Douchebro would have changed the suspension (higher with big rims, or lower with camber) and/or gotten a lower-end version and stuck the badges on after-the-fact.

Gear head. It's not really loud and obnxious.

Gear Head, but mainly because he isn't revving the crap out of it, if he was, my opinion would change. Those wheels are pretty douche bro.

With you on the wheels. Refer to the original post, I linked it, and you'll get a better idea. He has the winters on the stock wheels and he may or may not (we know which) have done a big smokey burnout which I may have edited out of the clip and that means revving, also... keep this in mind when making your determination; I saw this car at work and I work in a Courthouse. If he did do a big smokey burnout it'd have been right in front of said Courthouse.
