But the F430 is still in the familiy! And yet we need new pics of the S65. You have ritten where you got the the first SL and the S550 and you don`tlike the engine from AMG in these cars, but why you have yet a S65?  |
master_jcp,
You're absolutely right! I sometimes stick my foot right in
'my big fat mouth'! :silly: When I got the
SL550 and the first
S550, several persons asked why I didn't get the
AMG versions since I love
'wild and crazy' cars so much. My response was I didn't think those style of cars in the Mercedes line-up made sense with Hi-Po engines. I felt they were just fantastic cruisers and not meant to be 'Hot Rods'.
Well.... I was wrong! :shock: The engine is absolutely fantastic. She's like a rocket during blast-off. Slowly the power builds and then watch out! Although the
S65 weighs about
500 lbs. more than the S550 because of the 12 cylinder engine, the
604 HORSEPOWER :faint: more than makes up for the weight difference! I've had to pass several cars on the road already and all you have to do is tickle the throttle and
bam, boom, bang! Houston..... we've reached outer orbit! No problem here!
Sorry about no pics today but I went to buy 20 50lb. bags of corn for my outdoor friends the deer, raccoons and ducks that are chowing down like crazy.
I also started cutting the grass (7-9 acres) lower and lower getting ready for Winter.
I'll try for the pics the next sunny day. I think it's Friday or Saturday. Magwheel
