Drove a 2005 CL65 today

As I once mentoned before, I work for a benz dealer and today we got our first CL65 AMG...for those who dont know, it has 604hp and 738 ft pounds of torque from a V12 Bi-Turbo and awsome 19inch wheels......this engine is still de-tuned, they say it can produce over 800hp and 900 torque......this car was amazing....right when it got off the truck I took it for gas before anyone else could drive this $181,000 awsome machine. So far, this has been the fastest car I have driven....I took the long way to the gas station and jumped on the highway...any gear that you are you, if you floor it, the tires chirp and it starts to go sideways! Awsome! Lets just so I broke the engine in real quick. Anyway, I just had to share this with all of you.

thats crazy, V12 twin turbo...i think the S600s have that but not 600 hp, MB does NOT mess around

So yea, some guy bought our CL65, some guy who lives in florida and owns a learjet, but anyway...the car went to service and then all of a sudden the mechanic noticed about a 2 inch scratch on one of the wheels....now thier all pissed and blame it on me because I am the only one who drove it.....its fu*kin bullshit!...Sorry guys, I just had to get that out. On a good note, now that the mechanic took it for a 15 mile test drive, I get to go fill it up again....maybe Ill scratch another wheel....lol

looks like you pay checks might be a little smaller than normal for a while.
