S55 vs S600

the Same amount of power. Almost identical performance.

S600 with AMG pack..has more luxuary, power seats in the back heated/cooled. 4 zone climate control. about 50 more ft/lbs torque due to its V12.

VS.

S55 AMG. sport tuned -quad exhaust pipes. AMG badges. AMG speedshift tranny. amg sport tuned suspension.

luxuary vs. sporty
V12 bi-turbo vs. V8 kompressor

which one is your style? positive and negatives on both iin your opinion?

The power is not the same. The 600 feels/is more powerful. 600 is more expensive/more comfortable. 600 depreciates faster. Looks are identical except for minor trim features (e.g., quad exhaust).

55 sound is "throatier." Get what you love. For me, nothing beats the feel of a torque-monster V-12.

5.8 V12. I know its nowhere as fast as the bi-turbo one. but how is the ride? feeling?
