Just heard a S55 AMG

I was turning right, a newer MB was truning left, to end up going the same way on a 4 lane street. He waited a little bit for me. We both turned into our own lane. As soon as we straightned out he stepped on it and went past me. As he came by I looked at the back and saw 2 pair of chrome tailpipes and the ID: S55 AMG. I don't think he was at full power cause I didn't hear a sonic boom, but it did sound nice I think he was just giving me a listen cause he didn't maintain the power level.

Some people say they they should drive with a camera in the car. I wish I had a tape recorder in the car.

Cruised past a G55 yesterday morning on the way to work...had the distinctive dual sidepipes!

Couldn't hear it with the highway noise though...

Know what you mean....kinda like aural sex!

The best part of installing the Timevalve Y-pipe on need2speed is the lusty growl that happens when you floor it...

The newer benzes are really sounding nice. I was walking on fifth avenue here when a clk500 drove by. Its the kind of sound you pay top dollar to an exhaust company to get.
