this reely aint off topic, but, which would u rather have if u wanted an Mercedes-Benz S-Class, S55 AMG, or S600. I think it's a hard decision bcuz the S55 AMG is very sporty and fast, and has the AMG package standard, but it has a V8, yet u have the S600 V12, that has same performance, but just is a V12. The S55 has 490 HP and the S600 has 493 HP, both are Bi-Turbo now, and both go 0-60 in 4.3 seconds(from my understanding). if u want the AMG package but want to get the S600 jus get an S600 sport(AMG Package) which will make it look and perform the same way as the S55. So what do u think?(i put this here so that i could get sum attention in this forum)

Get the Amg, S600 is nice but the Amg is just that much nicer.

S55 AMG- Specced up to S600 levels- all the 600 luxury without the 600's extra weight :licka: altough I'd personally wait for the new Audi S8 :naughty: since it has All Wheel Drive and still is specced up nicely.




Though personally I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a Luxury car- the Volkswagen Passat W8 does the same for half the price (AWD + special Order 6-speed manual + Recaro Sports Seats pack + VW bodykit from the VW Parts catalogue + all the luxury trimmings + 18 Inch BBS wheels + Sports Suspension pack + ahead-of-it's time W8 engine)

I would go for the S600, on paper the S55 matches the S600 with horsepower, but in reality, S600 is much more powerful (something done to please the AMG owners) also the S600 provides a lot more torque then the S55, and V12 engines are more unique.
