Default C6 trivia: Complement from Uber Benz

A guy in town drives a SL6.5 V-12 biturbo AMG Benz coupe.

He parked next to me at the store and says , hey nice Vette.

My car looked tiny next to this thing.

I think I might be able to stay with him up to about 70, then he would kill.

604hp and 738lbft of torque

Better hope he doesn't have a tire on it, or that 0-70 might leave your car behind as well, lol.

A friend has a CL63 AMG Black that with just a tune is putting out over 600 at the wheels. It's an impressive machine.
