watch the whole video

let's just say there is a nice little run with the austin db9 and the bentley gt, and i will leaev the result to you

 

He is the man. I really wonder how it would run if someone threw some slicks on the back. Having a limiter on that car is a shame, and running that on a highway would be absolutely amazing. Love the bits about MB build quality

DOesn't it have like 765lbs of torque or something. That is TWICE the torque of a GS 430

 

someone with the e55 put drag slick on the rear and run mid 12 1/4 mile, if i remember right?

 

i think it's 712lb tq? something like that, over 700 for sure. they have a good point though, launching the car is such a problem

 

I wonder what would happen if instead of having those eight guys and the CL65 pulling away from each other, the video had them pushing against each other.

Now who would be the one that gets run over?

Pretty sweet, but I'd still take the Aston Martin DB9 over it.


BTW, I want that bloke's job.
LOL...that would be interesting to see...I'd pay money to see somethin' like that.

 

Awesome car, but I'd pick a S65 over it, and the DB9 still looks the best Thanx for posting

 

haha that's hilarious man

and i don't care about you guys, i would pick the sl65 over the cl65 and s65 any day

 

I would too, but S65 & CL65 are more comparable in size & performance?
But still Aston Martin looks the best The Vanquish even better.

 

You can have AMG adjust the limiter to something in the 180's.
Anything higher than that and the tires are going to hurt big time.

The damn vid is down

 

holy moly!!!


thats alot of damn torque...yes please!

 

oh yeah you are right, the s and the cl should perform more closely. dunno, i can't drive the s, it's too freaking big for a guy like me

 

Video seems to be down. Anybody that has it, can they host it?

 

You did mention that in your Lexus driving event thread. I notice quite a few affluent Asian women driving the S class here in Vancouver though. Are you sure you adjusted the seats properly during your test drive of the S ? You surely can't be much smaller than them
