Sweet, you have that laser cruise control thing! Have you tried it yet? I have always wanted a car with that.

I gotta say, if the original owner dropped $2k on that one option, the rest of the car must be fully loaded. What all does it have? BTW, looks great in white.

And are you gonna do rims? Have them picked out yet?

Beautiful car.

I think the S600 or S65 in white is my next ride as well........the 12-cyl club looks like fun.

Welcome to the V12 club! There is nothing better that a S600 (unless maybe a S65)!!!!

PS: That Satellite Antenna on the trunk need some white paint IMHO.

Great decision. I went from an E55 to (w221) S600 and can never go back... That V12... whoa! It's a living room on wheels with a high speed locomotive engine under the hood... the main difference is that the S600 is so well insulated that it does not "feel" as fast... even though the speedometer needle is revolving like a propeller...

I know, I had to line up with my brothers 300SRT to make sure

Needless to say, he wasn't happy with the outcome. A smooth flying couch, that really puts a smile on my face every time I drive her.

Oh to the person above, the distronic option, its okay. I wouldn't have spent the 2000 grand for it. Cause it doesn't really excite me, but I do LOVE it for the wife as she likes to tailgate EVERYONE. It should be MANDATORY for the ladies to have to use it, ha, ha.

See yeah

Out of ALL options on the car, the dynamic seats give me the biggest grin. They should be standard equiopment IMHO.

2005 S600 (Silver w/ AMG package)
Welcome

Hey Man,

Great choice by the way. That car is a beauty. One thing about mine that I didn't like was the muffler tips would never come clean like the rest of the car would. They always had like a film of cloud and brake dust that wouldn't rub off but I used some Mother's Mag and wheel cleaner on them and they shine like new. It isn't something most people notice but it makes a difference subliminally inho.

Mine is silver and I'm all into detailing now so ordering from Chemical Guys and really getting into it.

If You ever want to chat about the car hit me up at Chris_Hunter32@hotmail.com or Christopher.Hunter@libertymutual.com

This stuff is so fun to me. My Wife is bored of it though.

Beautiful ride! Just recently joined the V12TT club as well after owning a couple of AMG's and I must admit, it's so nice! Can't wait to flash the ECU and make some big #'s. Enjoy!
