Holy crap, I got my ass handed to me on a silver platter and then he proceeded to carve me up for seconds & thirds and then spit me into the garbage...

Must be nice to spend $120K on a Mercedes...

Here are the specs, which I didn't know beforehand, otherwise I would've taken a quick left turn... Though I had an idea I was in trouble when I saw the V12 badge...

5.5L 36-valve V-12 engine
493 hp @ 5,000 rpm
590 lb-ft @ 1,800 - 3,500 rpm
0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds

MSRP: $121,205.00*

Where did you get those stats? An S600, the large sedan, is the nomenclature for a 6.0L V-12. They aren't dragsters, but will pull like a freight train to top end.

An SL600 is the roadster equipped with the V-12.

The 493hp/ 590 ft/pds engine you describe sounds like the supercharged 5.5L V-8 that is found in the AMG SL55 roadster.

My dad has a CLK 55 AMG that has a 349-hp 5.5L N/A V-8. My other dad :) has a SL500 AMG with the 302-hp 5.0L V-8.

I pound the SL hard, but the CLK keeps it respectable when I get a chance to run it. It would probably trap 106-107mph in the 1/4.
