Tonight when i was driving an older man in a mercedes pulled up next to me at a light i didnt think anything of it til he took off hard and i just cruised he then waited for me to pull back up alongside so i was thinking this guy seems to have a nice car prolly pretty powerful so never wanting to lose i downshift and jump the guy put about a half a car on him until he accelerated he flew past me like i was standing still. Came home and did some research figured out i raced a 2005 s55 amg which has 493 hp and sells for 112,600 big ones yeah i was impressed until i saw the price tag i hope that car was suckin his dick while it was blowing me out of the water

I'm not too familiar with Mercedes... but is that the "Bi-Turbo" model? I'll have to find some pics of that one cause I saw one of those down at work in Silver Spring. It looked phat as hell, with a price tag to match.

Damn dude that seems like a pretty nice benz, but it better be doing something damn nice for over 100g's. O well still not that impressed with benz, some are alright but i'm thinkin that one is a waste of money.

Hey Tom,

This is the one that we saw at the auto show. I would love to take that thing for a test drive! Twisted Evil

It may hev very well been. I remember seeing that AMG as we were walking out, but never even took the chance to see the sticker price, knowing full well it was way out of our price range. Sweet looking vehicle nontheless.
