I saw one of these on the interstate when i was driving to georgia, Im there now. I rolled down my windows and gave him a thumbs up, i then asked if it was a V-8 or V-12....he said it was a 12. I bout crapped, i figured WHY NOT. At the time i was in a 2002 Dodge Durango LOL i know i had no chance but still. The only problem was my exit was coming up, so i get off and guess whos behind me the S500.I make my left hand turn and he is there beside me at a light, hmmmm. I asked him if he wanted to go he said sure with a big smile on his face. I stalled the dodge to about 2K (more and i spin) we launch and i accualy got him on the line with only 285lbs-trq, by about 3/4 of a car, up until about 40-45 then he pulled HARD HARD, then he proceded to whoop my *** LOL, was cool though i stopped and talked with him. Man that car had some *****, he said i had a really good launch ) (ive never been to the track, its sad, still a good driver though, w00t) Just figured id post that, my first race with a V-12 What the specs on the S500 anyways?

 

i just looked its a 302hp V8, oh well he said it was a 12.

 

i dont feel bad the durango is only a 235hp, 285 trq, 3.55open rear beast not bad for SUV

 

My aunt has one of those cars. They are fast as hell. They literally throw you back on your seat. I looked up the specs on mercedes website and it says they have 500 plus hp. It was by far the fastest car I have ever driven.

 

the one i saw said it was a V8 witj 302 Hp, so he really did have a V12? But yeah it sure moved hehe
