S65 amg, my choice without hesitation, Last thing I want to do is overpay brabus, and then my engine blows up on the freeway, and end up desputing to get my money's worth, and guess what brabus's answer would be "we didnt tell you to drive at 170 mph, and its prohibited by law, and then ur f$&*ed !!!
Besides I hate tuners, I wish they would prohibit modifying cars .. | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to ALI For This Useful Post: | | | Moderator

I would go for an "ordinary" S 600. I like the more comfortable way and the S 65 AMG has to many spoilers and I don't really like the quad exhaust system - it's just to brutal for this car. But here, now I can't vote for the S 600 - so I went with the 65 AMG  | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to ree For This Useful Post: | | | Global Moderator

T13 for me, because of the look  Or a normal S600 with the T13's bodykit + without a limiter  (S600 still can hit 310 km/h). | | | | | GCZ's High Court

With 630hp the Brabus should get better numbers than that. I never liked this tuner. The Kits are very aftermarket looking and the speed numbers suck.
S65AMG is better, kit and all. | | | | | Advocate

Best bang for the buck, S63. Don't need anymore in the states anyway. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
