Re: Jae 2008

Definitely will try and make an appearance if I can.

Look for something green and about 14 blocks long and that will be me!

For the hilarious length of the car, it actually handles incredibly well - the S500 was more 'remote' but a lot smoother and quieter and overall, you were tempted to drive through walls rather than around them.

The 750iL has a very linear power delivery - not that quick off the line (then, at over 2 ton, it would not be!) and does not have the 600hp madness engines that AMG are shoving in their ubersedans.

However, a test with one of those IPOD car performance programs that mesaures acceleration, lateral g, braking etc showed a very consistent rate of acceleration...just keeps pulling, next gear....pulling, next gear...pulling - I can only describe it as a turbine.

Aside from an S600 (V12 with 6 litres!) the only other car that I have driven like that is a JC Cosmo 20B - triple rotor twin turbo. That went like stink!
