Guest comeandzpa Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Mercedes seems to be joining the ranks as a company that makes an incredible car that everyone wants.....if they dont mind an auto. Some of them at least come with a semi-auto, but that doesn't count. BMW still wins my heart for drivetrain- ALL cars (except the 7 series, but eww) come with a stick, big-output engine, rear/all wheel drive. Mercedes does have a knack for making great cars though, and FAST!! Their new limo- the Maybach- a pinch over 6000 pounds: 0-60 in 4.9, 1/4 mile in 13.4. Twin turbo V-12. And MAN do they sound sweet!

Scottie-GNZ Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 There was an E55 AMG at the track last week and it went 12.5 @ 117. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 That was pretty impressive. Download time for me was @ 45 minutes-for anyone else contemplating watching it. After watching the vid I looked up the car on the net-it has a Cd of .28: not to shabby. Still, for the price you could still build a TT anything and still have money left over...guess it just depends on what you need, like, or can afford.

Guest bastaad525 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 oh' date=' if only to have 20 milion and a fifty-car garage...... i'd still drive my z!!!![/quote'] Here here! My g/f doesn't believe it... i always tell her.. if I ever won the lottery... instant millionaire.... I'd own three cars #1. '70-'72 240z - Built like crazy L28 turbo engine running some insanely expensive engine management and all the fixins putting out somewhere between 400-600hp.... The Getaway Car #2. '70-'72 240z - More or less stock (okay maybe some go fast goodies in there... okay maybe lots of go fast goodies) rigged with the Maxima 4spd auto tranny, with aftermarket A/C installed, Motorsport power window conversion kit... and if I could get it done, power steering, and of course, chop-top convertible conversion.... The Sunday Cruiser #3. '04 350Z Track (coupe) - With whatever top o'the line mods are available to make it go faster and handle better, like maybe that new supercharger kit...

Guest Big Phil Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I have a buddy who just bought a S600 mercedes and it is super fast. The car is the largest vehicle Mercedes makes but it ulitizes the same twin turbo V12 found in the Maybach. It was only rated at 493 HP and 500+ LB Ft of torque. The thing ran a high 12 sec 1/4 mile stock. The motor made less power than a Maybach so he sent the car to Renntech for a chip upgrade. It costed $6400 but the result are amazing. The motor now puts out 625HP and 745LB Ft of torque. If you have an extra $140,000 dollars hanging around this is the ride. He plans on taking it to the strip and whooping some serious butt. They also offer some serious power upgrade for the E55. Here is a time slip from a similar S600 Benz and info about Renntech. http://renntechmercedes.com/Treynor%20time%20slip.gif http://renntechmercedes.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Saw the latest MB commercial on Speedvision's F1 practice today. It was for the E55 AMG. Not your typical MB commercial in that the "monster" under the hood escapes and wrecks havoc on the owner's house whilst the little woman is beating it back into the garage and back under the hood from where is came from. Very amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yatsen Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Not a car that I'd want to own because a) it's a Mercedes and it has 4 doors. The numbers are very impressive nevertheless. But there are guys on this board who could smoke it, aren't there? Come on, please tell me I'm right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavD3 Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 I red an article last month about E55 in either Motor Trend or R&T,this car smoke new Vette too. If i had family of four and enough money i'd consider buying it,if i had family of two Porsche 911 the only choice for me,there is no substitue.So far i have only fiance and my 240Z weekend fun and Montero Sport for everyday But i made things clead with her that after this car is done 240zt is on it's way. If i won a lottery, gees, it would be hard, i'd ended up buying at least 5-8 cars such as: 911 Turbo, GMC Typhoon,MB AMG,Subary WRX ssi or Mits Evolution, BMW M3, '55 Chevy, 68 Chevy Camaro RS convert,'67 Vette....can't stop dreaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
