Personally, i will choose S600 with an aftermarket kit, either brabus, ART or Lorinser.

Cheers,

Adam

I agree with Adam...get the S600 and modify the vehicle. With Renntech you can increase horspower up too 620HP and 740TQ. Can't mess with V12

I saw an S600 at a dealer in southern California going for $65K. I called and they said it was sold. Missed it.... darn it

Well I'm assuming he's talking about the late W221 model He has mention S550, S65 and CLS. Renntech, Brabus or Evosport can increase HP on that V12 or maybe more than 620HP....

Hey Adam

I see that you are very close by, I'm about 12min away from Fremont. When I replace my C280 for an S500 I will contact you for some upgrades

Any of them would be nice but don't ruin them with boy-racer after market kits. Yuk.

2007 S600
I have an S600 because I was exhausted trying to get all of the features loaded onto an S550. I thought what the heck, go all out and get an S600. Then I took those ugly stock wheels off, sold them on Ebay and put AMG wheels on it. Afterwards I Rennteched the ECU and TCU and now I have the power of an S65 without paying the extra $40K. I feel I made a great decision. The wheels were purchased from TireRack for around $2K I think. All in all, I put around $8K in my car after buying it stock, and except for not having the AMG package on the car, it is every bit as nice as an S65.
