4 wheeled car.
V-12 side badging has been removed - it has RennTech emblems there now.
As far as the sound, that is at cold, rich idle. The car quiets down dramatically after about 20 seconds. Go listen to an AMG 65 car and it sounds very similar (especially with the echo you get when using a camera to take the video). Also, the tips do not point down or tuck in, that is the camera angle. And this "nasty sounding" S-Class will destroy your E55 like it was a little Yugo - sounds mean because it is mean. Your Porsche-wanna-be calipers are certainly not my style, but I have never really felt the need to go out of my way to make negative comments on them - we each have our own style which is what makes this hobby great. But thanks for your opinion

I remember my father telling me to never argue with idiots, as they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. I should have heeded his advice in this particular situation....
This is (was) a for sale ad. If you are (were) not interested in the car please move on. If you have ignorant comments, please either keep them to yourself or PM me. Thanks again to all that have expressed interest in my car. I am sorry the ad had to get de-railed like this.

Sounds great and looks great as well, I'm a fan of NO BADGES on the car, let some unexpected cars get the surprise of their life. I'm guessing the car dynoed 500rwhp and 630rwtq, once I multiply the crank figures by .81 to get RWHP, assuming you have a 19% drivetrain loss, that's the loss percentage Renntech uses.

That's insane, 100 octane makes the V12 Twin Turbo put world domination on it's hand! 543rwhp is 680hp using a 20% drivetrain loss, many people use that figure for automatic cars. What was your rwtq on the dyno? Numbers are insane and too bad you didn't have a sheet to post.
Your dyno reminds me a bit of the Lou Fishgold S600 dyno, on 101 octane he pegged 549.12rwhp and an earth moving 823.8rwtq with his Renntech tune. That's roughly 690hp and 1,030 ft-lbs of torque.

This car was a steal. If I had 10K more saved up I would have bought the car in a heart beat.
Buddy has an 05 CL600 without a tune and that thing is fast I can only imagine with a S600 tune.
I'm glad you found a good home for her.

I do still have this car. I have not advertised it for sale since dealing with tire-kickers has not been a priority nor has it fit within my schedule lately. I would still sell the car but I will not deal with picture collectors and lowballers.

This seems like a great deal.
Has the price dropped at all since the original date of sale posting?
I am going to pass this information along to my father who is in the market for another benz.

Thanks for the compliments guys. This is a really, really nice car. The price has not changed and the car is worth every penny of what I am asking. I could drop the price a few grand and sell it with the S55 AMG wheels if somebody didn't want the HRE's that are on it currently. Car is going in to MB for a Service A in the next few days and is ready to go.

I think these pictures that I took will clear up any misconceptions created by some knucklehead that the exhaust does not fit well. I actually had a guy with an S65 ask me how he could get his tips to sit like this, as they look better than they do from the factory.
