Try the S600 V12 twin turbo ... almost 600 ft.lbs of torque. The first to
second shifts are amazing. Also drove the C32 AMG. Not bad but seemed a little
docile ... probably due to the traction control. Still I think MBZ is skimping
on the quality of the interior ... especially the C32 ... for 55K I expect a
lot better.
