So my boss gave me the keys to his S65 AMG
So yesterday my boss tells me that someone backed into his 08' S65 and left a small ding and he wants me to take it to my buddies repair shop for a quote / fix.
He hands me the key fob and for a second I gave him a look like 'your not really doing this are you?'.
HOLY FUCKING Jesus Built my Fucking Hotrod SHIT
Ok let's look at the numbers:
603HP
738ft lbs of Tourque
32 Valve Bi-Turbo V12
Fully loaded all bells and whistles
Black w/ black interior
After doing some minor seat/mirror adjustments I pulled her out onto the open road being very very careful with it. This car is nothing less than an axe murderer in a tuxedo. The peddle is soft but when you apply ANY pressure to it the motor says 'Ok fucko, you want to go fast no problem' at 3,000RPM your pulled back in your seat like your on a mechanical bull at 4,000RPM your using your arms to keep yourself up strait and maintain your lane.
IF one day I had $200K burning a hole in my pocket this will be in my stable. As I drove down the road I passed a E63 AMG and the guy looked down at me was driving a civic. Tons of second looks, tons of staredowns. The brakes look like dinner plates, the car just looks mean.
God Dammit Mercedes, you married Steven King to Carl Louis and wrapped it in jet black aluminium.

Bad ass. Can't imagine what a S65 is like.... rode in in my uncle's S600 once. My uncle was driving, my dad was in the passenger seat, me and my brother in the back seat. He was cruising at about 60 when he said he got on it 3/4 way and it pulled to 110 like NOTHING, you probably couldn't blink twice in that amount of time if you tried. All the while, it was quiet as death. Torque everywhere.
Still, I think a big single Supra could romp on an SL65. Just that it has terrible turbo lag at that point

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
I like the "OK fucko" line.... 
OP: Good for you. Just make sure no one takes a UV light to the front dash. They'll see all the semen stains.

That's the best write up I've seen around here in a while. When the car is so powerful that you can't even articulate, that's priceless. You are one lucky guy, I for sure wouldn't trust my employees with my V, I barely trust MYSELF with my V.
Now, pics or ban!

I worked at an Audi/Porsche dealer for a while. The only thing I can compare to this that I got to drive was a Cayenne Turbo S. 521 horses...531 lb. ft. of torque. That thing weighs 5,000+ pounds until you hit the gas. It does not fuck around.
Damn thing scares me and that takes a lot. I also drove the Audi A8L W12 and S8 but they don't come remotely close to an S65.

imagine one with the renntech package, that thing is crazy! I think what you may have enjoyed the most is just that unique growl from a V12, I know I love it every day when I hear it passing 3K RPM!

Would be bad ass to toy around with one....I saw the new S65 AMG on the road the other day, those front brakes are insane. Thank god for Mercedes' horrible ability to retain any resale value
