S600 Merc nutter
Discussion
Blimey charlie these cars are awesome, had a ding dong with one on the A505 going towards Duxford and I was well impressed with the speed of the thing, woosed out on the roundabouts where I pulled ahead a far distance but the speed at which he gained on me was mad. 
Mind you he was a bit of a nutter, but with 500bhp and a V12 under your right foot he has every right to be!
Still, at £80k I am happy in the knowledge my £68k house will be worth more in a year!
Dont suppose anyone on PH has one of these monsters?

No, but I've got an older shape 5 litre V8 with 306bhp (bought second hand for a fraction of original cost). I'm looking forward to when the latest 612bhp 600 is 5 years old with 60k on the clock. Should make rather an interesting £30k purchase, considering the 612bhp version will be shortly retailing at about £120k. 
Hell with used prices like these monsters are going to suffer, we might even get Derestrictor out of his Lexus.

Hail Daz;
Funny you should mention the Mega Benz engines and outputs; saw an SL55 AMG romp away in anger recently and it was quite a sight (and sound!)
And, I must confess, recent observations of a number of (not just AMG) Mercs is beginning to persaude me that some of their latter day creations are clearly very big hitters in the torque stakes - I mean, even some of their bigger turbo diesels can see you applying a dab more throttle than you might have anticipated...
As for the latest CL65 AMG? In all probability, the ultimate GT money can buy ito all round, comensurate automotive satiation. You only have to see something like this on a bombing run to know that your number's well and truly up: I mean, these things are the real deal for the autobahn cognescenti these days, as much, if not more so even than ('regular') fillet pork and lightly souffled Ferrari.
Jawhol!
