New toy to play with - S55 AMG Kompressor 

Thank you!

Thanks! I have always been a fan of the W124/E-Class myself and never thought about an S-Class. and then I purchased an W221 S600. I was looking for comfort for my wife so she would not be in pain due to a bad back when going on vacations, and also looking for something with a little power to go with it - I had driven an E320 CDI for a few years and loved it, but having owned two W210 E55s previously, and other domestic performance/muscle cars, the S600 seemed like it would meet what I was looking for. I then was asked to service this W220 S55, and I had never owned a W220 (or an M113k-powered vehicle, but have been around many and love the platform). It seems the M113k has the same reliability as the M113 AMGs without the Kompressor, and after I drove this one, I immediately fell in love with the additional comfort of the S-Class, as well as the fact you rarely see them on the road. Word has been out about the performance per dollar the E55 provides, and they are much more common (and a great car, too!). I thought the S55 would be different, and would still provide the performance I was looking for. With Dodge Hellcats out there today, the M113k isn't the fastest production sedan anymore, but with some mods it would certainly give one a run for its money. I also have a V6 Buick with a snail for when I need it ;)
