Who Has The Power To Pull Away?
A neighbor of mine has a BMW 760Li (V12TT - 535hp/550tq - 5150lbs). He thinks it's faster than the S600 (493hp/590tq - 4610lbs). (P.S...The hp is under rated on the S600. It's more like 505hp - stock). But whatever with splitting hairs.
What's your take on that?
No need to tell me about racing variables. I am just looking for opinions on which car pulls away, with all things being equal.

Well on paper, more torque usually equals more pulling power, so I am leaning on the Bimmer; I'm not sure if the weight difference between that and the Benz would be enough for the Benz to win though.

Don't know how the trans in S600 but bimmer trans delivers better performance. However, more tourq and less weight I would think that Benz got this if wheels don't spin too much

I have heard so many times Mercedes under-rated the 600 by a great deal due to customers buying the
65's for more money and MB not wanting the backlash.....
I have heard less, but I believe your hp number is on the money.....
