Mercedes S500 goes down

Last night, I was cruising on the highway toward the city when a Mercedes S500 passed me with some ~20 MPH over the limit. Well, I had luck, the next lamp went red. I knew we will race, it was a little young gangster, the typical driver of these cars over here. They buy an S-class and drive it around as they would have stolen it. (Which is somehow true, though...) In the top five on my kill wish list. :x

Anyway the car is the W140 type, from mid 90's, 5.0L, some 326 HP, 6.5 to 0-60 MPH. I didn't want to power launch it, I wanted to be fair. 8) He got the lead, one lenght or so, but I could catch him pretty fast. I went till 95 MPH and was more than 5 lengths there, slowed down and got the ricer fly bye from him. :roll: Anyway it's time to look for a S600 now...

Nice kill...

The S600's have the V12 in them right? What kinda #'s are they putting out?

Thanks. Yep, V12. The W140 S600 first was some 412 HP in the early 90's. Went ~5.8 to 60 MPH. Then they had to back up a bit around 93 or so because some kind of emission regulations. It was 394 HP and went 6.0 to 60MPH. Much faster than the S500.

Later,
