Kinda like your cousin's wife is in the family but she's not related by blood.
It's a twisted little world we live in.
I'm not sure I agree or maybe I don't understand your analogy. Everything I've read states that the SRT-6 engine is made by AMG in Germany...not "in spirit", but in reality. Maybe AMG didn't put their initials on the engine, but it was still built by them. To use your analogy, if AMG is considered to be on the other side of the family tree...the SRT-6 engine would be the "cousin"...and related by bloodlines, not the "cousin's wife".
