[s-cars] LAF Weakend JNR report - E60 ///M5

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

I have had the pleasure of drives in both the neu m5 and the S600,  along 
with a lot of 'spririted' driving of a tweeked RS6 on a, er, road  test...  The 
RS6 reminded you that a lot of fun can be had by putting a  race motor in an A6 
chassis, but you never forgot it was an A6.  The M5 was  a sophisticated M3, 
and covered you in mistake proof handling (like the old  951, make all the 
mistakes you want, I'll make you look good doing  it)///    but the S600 from a 
standstill to 150 was just about  the classiest urgent push into the leather, 
like a citation 10 on  a short runway.  I also understand in Renntech computer 
form, low 12's are  the quarter.
 
If you ever get the chance, the S600 will certainly put the luxo bar(ge)  
about as high as it gets.  A short list of cars may just get by it on the  fly, 
but will be driving all out doing it...
 
BTW, it was David E. Davis that said  you haven't reached true driver  status 
until you've owned a v12...

That's the whole thing- a Brabus modded widebody S  Class doesn't look
unassuming. It looks
badass and very  hot-rod.

The nice thing about the S600 is that it looks like an ordinary  big Mercedes
and not too many people
know that they can do 0-60 in about  5s and run the 1/4 in the low to mid
13s.

A Maybach 57S would be even  better.
