Can't compare an E63 to an S550...If you want the sheer thrust of that 6.3 enging... an S550 will NOT satisfy you.
If you want the sheer size of the S Class - but the engine of the 6.3... I would hold out till you feel comfortable plunking down the extra 30 grand.
However, if you want a fast car, the S550 is absolutely wonderful. Just don't want you to get behind the wheel and expect E63 territory power.

If I want speed then yes E63 will be suitable for me

I've been wanting to get these pix posted but I'm not much of a camera toting guy. Sorry I'm so late getting these posted. Enjoy looking at another obsidian black 2007 S600. Excuse the papers in the backseat.

Thanks. We love living here. Anyway, the camera is a Sony DSC F707. Probably 5 years old but does a great job IMO.
I plan to get a couple of shots of my wife's C class side by side with my S.
BTW, I just noticed my silly wife was looking out of the kitchen window when I took one of the pictures. She did that just to poke fun at me. Crazy woman.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the comments. The wife is a cutie I must say. Much more than I deserve.
She was cooking a big meal for mother's day celebration.
I'll have to say the S600 is a spoiler of a car. I look at other cars from time to time and just find nothing out there interesting anymore. I used to trade every year, but this car is awesome and seems to be a keeper for a while.

Anupat and LPM,
Both of your cars look great. I envy not having the AMG appearance package Anupat and I like the wheels on LPMs as well. That's a fairly new wheel style that is growing on me. May get a set of those to freshen up my car someday.
