Default me in my Dad's S8....

One day i was driving my dad's s8 with my dad in the pass seat. We come to a junction with an s55 on the left of us. I ask him, what u got under the hood. He says "more then you can handle". So my dad said "Smoke him". So i beat him by 3 cars, quite easy coz the S55 is an average car with an average engine.

Yep, that shows you that a 13 year old wrote that stupid crap (with the brands switched around) on the MB forums. Surprising how naive rich infants can be:-)

Default you are kidding right?

there was a recent article in R&Y (?) where they compared the S8, the S55, and the new 740i. The mercedes beat the S8 in almost every category - especially acceleration. It weights in a few hundred pounds more and has less horsepower than the S8, but still beats it. So either you the other driver wasnt really 'racing', or you may be wishful thinking.

Default Quattro magic!

S55 might be ahead of S8 in numerical meaning, but remember that Quattro is an "unfair advantage"!

Hey there "August"
I don't know what you're driving, but my ride is an S-8. I can tell you first hand w/a few ver minor changes S-8 beats the S55. I had a S-55 last year. I have the article you're talking about as well. BUt that is the only magazine put the S-8 down and I can mail you at least 12 magazine articles from Europe showing how much superior the S-8 is over S55. I'll take any S55 w/ any driver , any time with my S-8 , and if I loose PAY ATTENTION: I will hand over my ride, keys and the title. And I am not 13 years old.
Ciao
