The benz people are stuck up morons who I enjoy beating the **** out of then shoving it in their face that my $8k car just beat there overrated overpriced benz. Yes.. I AM bias against benz, they make **** now compared to the old days, the old days being the 80s and early 90s when it was respectful to drive around in a benz, not just drive around in a benz like today because of the name even though the quality is junk and overrated.
I have a 2002 S430 and it is by far the nicest car I have owned. It is super smooth, extremely comfortable, decent gas mileage with the auto V8, and is quick enough for a DD. None of the Benz's I've ever been in have been "junk", including the 250k mile turbo diesel around the block from me.

A normal (V8) Benz SL63 AMG weighs 4600lbs. Put the V12 in it w/ twins and everything else and your are up around 5100.
Thats assuming its an SL and not an even porkier S-class based CL !!


Those cars are sleds....

C63 FTMFW though...

FWIW, those Benz's are a pig, killed one with my SS turbo...actually worse than than the ZR1 did, so I'm not sure of that claimed 750hp on the Benz

there 11.7 second pigs. not bad for a convertible Auto. AMG SL65 are no joke.
