Well i just learned a thing or two about the S class by Mercedes. Guy went whizzing by me so punched it a bit.. got up to a stop light and we are both at the line. we both take off but i wasn't sure he was going for it so i wasn't WOT on it. figured out he was fairly fast so i hammered it to the floor. He actually started to pull on me for a bit but at about the 100 mph mark i noticed myself regaining the lead. I was definitely impressed though. Was a 2007 S550. Looked that the specs on it and those things are shoving out HP on a 5.5 V8. the only draw back that they really have is that they weigh in at 5600lbs and their max torque seems t me to be kinda low at 2800 RPM when the RPM peaks at 6000 and figure about a 6500 red line. Well i would have had him in the bag but the road curved and merged into 1 lane and wasn't sure what as around the long corner and at those speeds i wasn't taking the risk of causing a wreck. but i would like to get one of those on the 1/4 mile sometime.
