I agree there, too, they may be expensive, but worth it.

I'll settle for an S550 with AMG sport package, but the S63 exhaust note is a must. Anyway I can achieve this? I wont be racing either cars, unless someone pulls up beside me in a HEMI or some sort. In that case, I just want to show em who's boss. I hope you guys aren't tired of me posting questions, I feel this is the only way to gain knowledge about this subject. Consumers are the way to go.

aric,

You need to take some test drives. I too thought I could do with a S550 with the AMG package sport package. The AMGs are in another league.

If you can be happy with the S 550 you will save a lot of money and they are great cars, but you need to drive both to be sure.

I bought two S500s before I realized I would not be happy until I had an S65. Looking back I would have been much happier sooner, and saved money, if I had went ahead and got the S 65 the first time.

Tony
