they had to electronically limit the torque figure, unlimited it produced 885 ft/lb of torque!!!!!!!! :bow: they were worried it would shred the transmission!

 

running twin tubbies at 22psi! mental!! :dance:

You lucky bugger!!

yeah paul, forgot to mention im passing your place on the way to birmingham next week :D

 

that car is awesome, shame it still looks like a merc though :D

That's some serious power!

 

Nice looking aswell but I bet the voice activated phone dialing doesn't work. :D

2 spark plugs per cylinder and a v12

24 spark plugs!!

yeah, about £5.50 + vat ea, & about 3.5 hrs labour IIRC to fit too!!!

 

costs more to replace plugs than the basic service costs on V engines (the V6 & V8's have twin spark also)

So 3.5 hours labour at 65 pounds an hour (well the Kirk dealer I use to take my Cossie to used to charge that much) and the plugs? Well I suppose if you've got the money to buy one of those in the first place then you've probably got the gold plated key card to access the executive toilets on the top floor somewhere in the City!

£65??? were one of the cheapest in the UK at £75ph. most are charging £90+ now (all plus VAT of course!!) :eek: :x:

Flippin' heck and I thought 65 was outrageous as Land Rover only used to charge me about 45 to work on my Range Rover(s).

Its a handsome motor but for that money I would find something else I prefer.

 

Just curious about the spec on the engine.....

 

"AMG-built twin-turbocharged 6.0L SOHC 36-valve V-12 engine"

 

I thought SOHC's went out with Ford Cortinas. Please enlighten this mechanical moron :confused:
