I have mad respect for the AMG series cars. They look for enthusiasts like me who want the total package(luxury, performance, etc..). Unfortunately I can't afford one of those but I like that Bimmer put out a Twin-Turbo that you can pick up for about 40K. Just a tune and downpipes on that thing has them in the mid to low 12's!!.

:lol:

what? where did I say brand new or you just have problems reading English?

First of all, the didn't make these 5 years ago.

Second, IF you had ANY brain cells left over you would do a basic search before talking like a tool.

Here is one for 69k, son:rollseyes

Here is one, ONE year old, for 73k....

go buy them baller.....:lol:

First of all a 4 year old car is not NEW smart ass. I used the term 5 years for exaggeration in regards to how dumb your comment was. Perhaps for you it is for me, its not. I already own a 09 S550 amongst other vehicles, i didnt buy the SL cause well i just didnt want it. If i wanted it, i would have purchased it. Have a great day

Post Script: 149k is not 200k im sorry, thats a difference of most peoples annual salary. And the car is not going for 73k, its simply a bid placed, notice the reserve is not met yet. Good day


Not to take away from the topic of the thread, Great video Great car. Keep up the good work

It was a buy it NOW price, moron. As expected from a moron who didn't know what he was talking about in the first post in this thread, you follow that up with even dumber assertions.

SL65 MSRP's start for just a tad under 190k, so 200k is not far off, 149k is, tool.

Also, one of them was 07, MORON, that is ONE year old, NOT 4.:rollseyes that one says 55, but you can tell it's a type, body is clearly 65/.

This is the part that confused your small brain obviously.

AMG's are THE most overpriced cars imo. Before most of you get upset, I mean that in the aspect that depreciation on them is beyond comprehension for most. I feel bad for the guys that buy them new and take the first hit.

SL65's which go for close to 200k, can be had with like 5k miles for 75k.

out of all, E55 holds the price the best but not that great either.


Great time to the op...

....SL65, like I originally said, goes for 190k+taxes.

You mean to tell me, you own S550 and don't know the pricing of one of the most expensive benzes out there right now?:lol:

Just for ref, new ones start at 195 even.

I love long videos for relatively quick drag passes :bored:
Awesome car, but no helmet with 12.X passes? Redneck track?

Redneck track?

hahahahaha, hit the nail right on the head.

looks like fayettenam, theres guys running 10 second passes with their seatbelts off there. i hated that track when i was living in Raleigh, not really the track itself (minus the fact that all the sand in your engine bay looks like you just went dune buggying after you get done racing there), but it is the worst managed track i have ever been to. theres like one guy who watches over the lanes, no tech inspection whatsoever, just go to some booth, pay money, they dont even look at your car. I waited in the lanes for 2 and 1/2 hrs because the guy running the show just wanted to see the pro drag cars and bikes run... let them make 2-3 passes each time before even going to street cars. glad i've got places down here like BMP and OSW down in FL.

AMG does make one hell of a car. I ran one back a few years ago at the track that had 10.00 on the glass and my buddies and I were all making fun of him for that. None of us rednecks knew what the Rentech (I believe thats how it is spelled) sticker on the back glass meant. Found out the man wasn't lying, smoked me with a 10.20! All I could say was WOW! Don't worry, I passed his ass...at the end of the track when he hit his brakes. Ricer fly-by in a truck FTW!! Lol.
