have you ever gotten to ride in or drive one? i have done both and that car is awesome. its quite possibly one of the few cars where the passengers in the back have just as much/if not more leg room than the people in the front!
and just all the little attention to detail make it an awesome car.

Have ridden / driven most every MB model in modern production history (dating back from the 70s). Have driven Gullwings, etc.
Like I said...boring barge.

Hahahahah, knowing that current models would blow your (beautifel)550 out of the way
Brabus, AMG, etc.... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Blow it away? Yeah...with the crap interior, or the piss poor handling? Or the fact that you fall asleep at the wheel at 160 mph because you're bored? Oh, and in a straight line...keep dreaming.
funny how you're comparing rotten apples that came out now to a ferrari that came out in '97.

Speedkillar: I know you're way biased for MB, but have you ever driven any of the cars you're referring to? I'm curious, because (and I don't mean to be critical, just honest), it seems as if you're guilty of what 99.99% of car forum members are: bench racing. No first hand experience...

Crappy interior, right, you're driven the italian car here, and I remember your steeringweel had some nasty blobs on it. :roll:

It seems you're also way biased for Ferrari :roll: ,don't you think before you wright something down
And yes, I have driven AMG models(sadly not the new one...yet), thats where I got my passion for MB, and I've also driven M models.
Whats your point :roll:
But, I have to agree, I've never driven a ferrari, and I would like to.
Maybe you should invite me and let me have a go at the beast

Amanthapar: yes. Read above.
Speedkillar: whenever you're in town, you're more than welcome to drive my car.
Explain the bias here. The only category in which a Brabus (no AMG car I've driven so far can out accelerate the 550. And that includes the latest ones, save the CL65) powerd vehicle will beat i tout is straight line acceleration. However, if you look at the CdA, then it's obvious that given the same powerplant (no Mb comes stock with a 700bhp 7.4l V12) or comparable, there's no way the MB can keep up.
It's totally apples vs. oranges.

I know, my previous post explained that it will blow your car away(in a straight line), but of course on a track its different.
And I'll keep in mind your offer, thanks
