S65 amg, my choice without hesitation, Last thing I want to do is overpay brabus, and then my engine blows up on the freeway, and end up desputing to get my money's worth, and guess what brabus's answer would be "we didnt tell you to drive at 170 mph, and its prohibited by law, and then ur f$&*ed !!!

Besides I hate tuners, I wish they would prohibit modifying cars ..

I would go for an "ordinary" S 600. I like the more comfortable way and the S 65 AMG has to many spoilers and I don't really like the quad exhaust system - it's just to brutal for this car. But here, now I can't vote for the S 600 - so I went with the 65 AMG

 

[Bruce]

The T13 looks fantastic...but the S65 is just sublime.

 

[Sunny]

I would take even S63 over the Brabus.

 

[DeDe]

T13 for me, because of the look Or a normal S600 with the T13's bodykit + without a limiter (S600 still can hit 310 km/h).

 

[PanterroR]

I would take even S63 over the Brabus.

Word!

With 630hp the Brabus should get better numbers than that. I never liked this tuner. The Kits are very aftermarket looking and the speed numbers suck.

S65AMG is better, kit and all.

 

[Gullwing]

Best bang for the buck, S63. Don't need anymore in the states anyway.

 

[Tarek]

All those cars are pointless but if i have to choose then would be the AMG for the obvious reasons.

 

[Pagani]

The AMG version for me, given the alternatives here. But I would gladly go with the S 600 sport given the chance.

 

[John]

S65. No point in paying more for minimal gain

 

[coolraoul]

Undoubtedly AMG. Much more classy.

But I'll do like Ree, or Pagani: a S600 would be my choice.

 

[cawimmer430]

Easy. Stock AMG for me please. Don't like the way Brabus or other MB tuners mess up the "look" of the car.

At least the AMG S-Class has style!

Nope not just you I also have a hatridge for modified car

Guess that makes two of us then.

 

[warot]

The original kit looks the best to me. It still impresses me how we can get such ridiculous numbers from these engines... 1100 nm

 

[ateekt]

Like you said, "stock" ...!

I won't pay mad money for a good-looking set of rims (only thing looking good on her) ...!

 

[LaArtist]

stock for me..there is only 1 tuner that draws even with AMG when it comes to apperance in the W221..and thats kleemann

 

[NarutoRamen]

Stock for me please. The AMG badge means a lot more to me than the BRABUS.
