Right on, but the S63 has the same looks with the newer engine and killer AMG G7! (something the 65 doesn`t have yet) plus I like the separated exhaust tips a little better. The S63 might not have a V12 and it`s performance is a little slower 4.2 vs. 4.5 but heck, who going to be peeling rubber all the time. The S63 is more than enough. | |

LOLLOLOL, that is just the 0-100 time GTA. The S65 eats S63 alive at all other speeds, and in between sprints and whatnot. It's performance is not 'a little' slower....silly goose ![]() | |

well, we all know the S65 is one hell of a machine.. believe me I wouldn`t hesitate to buy one but I don`t see the point in using it in the city (stop and go traffic). I drove the S600 and it was bad enough! The Bi-Turbo V12s just wants to get out from under you badly. I think the S63 is good enough for everyday use. Why spend $20,000 to $54,000 more if your not going to take advantage of all that power! I believe the S63 has a much better dollar speed ratio value compared to it`s bigger brothers because the performance isn`t even 15% less than either the S600 or S65. As for the engine note 888, I think thats a matter of choice.. Last edited by Splenditenes; 06-01-2007 at 08:18 PM.. | |

![]() | Re: S65 AMG Cont'd Thread 2 WOW, quit a sound, I`ve herd this car in the metal and it`s really noticable! much like an angry drum-roll!! Im looking at the hp "at the wheel" 537hp@...4450rmp/ 654lb-ft@3900rpm Thats a loss of 125hp! I`ll bet the 5-speed is taking up a lot of muscle here. It`still manages to be plenty fast though.MB should be working on a new V12. Actually the next generation AMG S-Class should be a AMG design and built engine like the M156 in the rumered S69 ( with a revised 7-speed) |
