I saw with the money saved by going from 600 to 55 you trick the car out. At least get some nice HRE 20's and I know it comes with an AMG kit but get like a Wald or Autocouture kit ....Something like these cars...

Also, apparently the twinturbo V12 engines are in fact more powerful than the supercharged AMG V8s...
Take a look at this thread on MBWorld...
Heres a picture of the dyno of an 03 S600:
Its making 481.5 rwhp, which translates into 615 HP at the crank (using the RennTech measured drivetrain loss of 21%)...STOCK
