Werd Up!!
I test drove one when I leased the S550.
Didn't have the bank to deal for the V12.
The car was a stone beast though...more Vette like than a Benz...GONZO torque.
Keeping tires on one of those would be a challange...as would staying out of jail.

Perhaps in a few years...
too many kidz in college right now :-(

Cheers,

Simeon
