jlandbl 02-15-2007, 02:17 PM I have been hesitant to post this but why not. Ran into an S65 AMG at a highway stop light 2 days ago on the way home from work. I was completely ignored by the driver so I wasn't sure if he would bite. Light turns green and I nail it and so did he. We were even until about 25 mph then he smoked me by about 2 car lengths by 80mph. Man, that thing was fast! maf1960 02-15-2007, 02:20 PM Tell us it wasn't fun though? - even if it was for only a few seconds! I applaude your try! jlandbl 02-15-2007, 02:24 PM Tell us it wasn't fun though? - even if it was for only a few seconds! I applaude your try! You know it!!!!! Beltfed 02-15-2007, 02:27 PM Man, that thing was fast! For $180k, I would hope so. Was it a W220 or W221 (new body)? jlandbl 02-15-2007, 02:33 PM For $180k, I would hope so. Was it a W220 or W221 (new body)? New, dealer tags were still on it too. Tom C 02-15-2007, 02:44 PM The S65 is a total beast... 604hp...738 lb-ft of torque. I would have thought that you would have blown him away.....up to 25 mph :p Hey two car lengths at 80 mph is a great showing (not sure if he let up a little)...they run low 9's to 100mph and low 12's in the 1/4. Tom GodfatherSRT8 02-15-2007, 03:21 PM I agree that S65 is a monster. One of these days I will win the lottery and be able to afford that thing. I need to start playing it first I suppose.:D split2112 02-15-2007, 04:14 PM The fact that he even considered running against an SUV is a sign of respect in itself. Its rare you get to pull up to the line against one of those. jlandbl 02-16-2007, 06:19 AM The fact that he even considered running against an SUV is a sign of respect in itself. Its rare you get to pull up to the line against one of those. I'm not sure he even noticed me or cared who was next to him. He was gonna nail it regardless. This guy was actually at the light first. What a machine that thing is! Wonder if he was at WOT? EXTM 02-16-2007, 02:37 PM I have smoked SL65 which is in the same level of performance of the S65.. from 0 till almost 100miles or so. he was so pissed off :P My JEEP: 7.0L motor + Supercharger = well you make the math :D GodfatherSRT8 02-16-2007, 03:21 PM I have smoked SL65 which is in the same level of performance of the S65.. from 0 till almost 100miles or so. he was so pissed off :P My JEEP: 7.0L motor + Supercharger = well you make the math :D We need videos of your Jeep esp when it is putting the hurt on an SL65. dallastx 02-16-2007, 08:13 PM I ran against an E55 AMG and won... barely - I was driving an 02 Viper however | ||
