Yesterday minding my own business, well coming of a roundabout and flooring it up the road to the next turnoff - its a perfect quarter mile 2 lane's and rarely any traffic - when a large merc on a 'T' plate appeared in the rear mirror and just kept coming and coming and coming and FLEW past me. Must have been modded as it had a bl**dy great twin SS pipes out the back. Looked like an old shape S600 diplomat wagon but to be honest he was at warp speed and then my turning came up....

I wasn't racing but was quite blown away by the performance of this huge car.

Anyone got any ideas what it might have been do? AMG do a large scooby beater?

BTW mines a MY00 wagon unmodded but with an STi backbox

any merc with the 4.3 v8 will spank most scoobies once over 70/80 MPH.

A clk 430 for example running at 155mph is more stable than a scooby at 100mph.

And yes - even the S class mobile palace is quick ..

Mate of mine had an S55 AMG for a while.

Bit heavy, but once rolling it was pretty quick.

Mercedes also used to do a convertible with a 5 ltr V12 under the hood.
Nice!
