Yeah, IC pump most likely, when mine was going bad i couldn't even keep up with a Mustang GT or G37S...
If his SC wasn't engaging because of the IC (i didn't hear it) then you were basically racing a CL500

Could clearly hear the supercharger whine. From all accounts, this is not surprising. As the speed increases, the V12 really shines. If the supercharger wasn't engaging, it would have been much much worse.

Thanks for the confirmations and was going to post the exact same thing but didn't want to hurt the 55 guys feelings. Those V12 are so under rated and over looked. Never mess with a TT V12 benz.

Yes, yes, my whole world just came crashing down around me because a 600 beat a 55 in this video 
I'v had the chance to race a 600 and we were neck and neck until around 60/65 then he started to pull on me and we came to a light and he turned off
From what i remember when i was test driving (600, 55 and 65) before deciding on my 55 the 600 is a TT 5.5 V12 with the same output as the 55 but with around 75lbs more torque right?

Ahh, ok, i remember it was quite a beast when i drove it, i just don't like the feel of V12s personally which is why i didn't buy a 65 when i was shopping
For the longest time I didn't know that the 600s were turbocharged until i went to drive one, i always thought they were just a NA version of the V12 in the 65

That's why I don't like them, they aren't as 'gruff' as the V8, I don't like V10s either for pretty much the same reason 
V8s seam to be the sweet spot

That's cute, your talking about a 10 year old car as if it's a fresh from the dealer car, when I bought the 55 there was only a trivial price difference in price between it and the 65 I drove
You don't have to be petty and try to start an argument and ruin this guys thread, if you like the V12 good for you, I do not
And as far as what people can afford you might want to check out what Steve Jobbs drove or what Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Mark Zuckerberg drive before assuming things about people's means
