a 3000lbs car vs. a 6000lbs car? Of course! Lighter is better.

cronic · 01-01-2004, 01:35 AM

Wow maybach

got any pics man? How much are those going for?

JDMSubaru · 01-01-2004, 01:37 AM

$378,000 for the 62, the 57 is a little bit cheaper

SgWRX · 01-01-2004, 01:39 AM

you'll get your arse handed to you... and maybe some grey pupon

cronic · 01-01-2004, 01:41 AM

Who is your cousin? P-diddy? Seriously get some pics! That thing is awesome..

JDMSubaru · 01-01-2004, 01:45 AM

It's his dad's, and he's the CFO of Circuit City

Evil Imports · 01-01-2004, 03:44 AM

You could buy a small house, or a sweet condo with that kind of money.. i'd be afraid to drive that around

jigga · 01-01-2004, 10:42 AM

sorry dude... unless you are modded to the teeth, the Maybach will hand you your butt on a silver platter...

Those things are big, but are nothing to screw with... Their highway performance should be even more impressive than their 0-60 times...

It is just hard to argue with yhe torque and WHP a twin turbo V12, especially with our pea-shooter sized 2.0L flat four....

you could offer to run his air conditioning

silver arrow · 01-01-2004, 11:16 AM

They are very fast in a straight line. As fast as US 2.5l STi. Road and Track clocked a 57 at 0-60 4.9 sec., 1/4m 13.4, handling is good for a 6000lbs car but not STi good.

NukeX · 01-02-2004, 03:45 AM

they pack around 10hp/100lbs of weight. Their engines like most MB engines are under-rated. They have ~600hp and 600+tq

Same TT V12 in the S600....turned up a lil....

A little? Try 50 hp, up to 543 hp (comapred to 493 hp in the S/CL/SL600).

2MANYCARS · 01-03-2004, 11:04 AM

4.9 secs 0-60 eh? Don't seem that quick to me.

BANG4BOOST · 01-04-2004, 05:29 AM

wat is a mayback 62???

Turbogeek · 01-04-2004, 05:40 AM

TTIWWOP

This has GOT to be backed up. who in reality has a Maybach????? and why on earth would they be bothered racing? Or even driving the damn thing?

JDMSubaru · 01-04-2004, 05:58 AM

I'm gonna see if he'll let me put double HKS BOV's on his car.

wrexxy · 01-04-2004, 07:09 AM

There are cars to drive, and then there are cars to be driven in. The Maybach is definitely a car to be DRIVEN in. Especially the 62 wheelbase model. If you're intending on only driving yourself around, why then you would purchase a limo? Does this guy have a driver?

i disagree, can you imagine how much fun it would be to drive one of these? ramming into other cars, taking down small buildings... maybach mayhem! (i think that's actually a cheat in GTA VC)

2MANYCARS · 01-04-2004, 10:14 AM

Bang4boost,
Maybach is a brand made by Mercedes-Benz, they are those ultra expensive cars that people like Bill Gates could afford.

It would be crazy to drive that car yourself, it's like taking your small condo on to the road. I actually did see one outside the toll booth of GWB once, very big, very classy.

Originally, Maybach was a brand of ultra-luxury cars but was killed off due to the Great Depression. Recently, Mercedes-Benz bought the rights to the Maybach and started working on a new Maybach before 2000 that would end up competing with Bentleys and Rolls-Royces. Shortly before the car's debut, its name went from "Mercedes-Benz Maybach" to just "Maybach" because DaimlerChrysler got feedback from potential Maybach owners who felt they wanted a car somewhat separate from Mercedes-Benz to indiciate its elevated level of luxury. Each Maybach is custom-tailored at the buyers' request since you order them rather than buy them off the lot.

For those of you who have some insight into rap music, the MTV Diary of Ja Rule that aired several months ago showed him going into a dealership or something to watch a video presentation of the Maybach that they play for potential owners. And his labelmate Ashanti actually owns the Maybach used in her "Rain On Me" music video.

BANG4BOOST · 01-04-2004, 04:39 PM

oh i c haha another one of those expensive cars that perform about the same as an STi and EVO.

JDMSubaru · 01-04-2004, 05:02 PM

try outperform, Car and Driver did a 13.2 with the long wheelbase 62 on 19" rims

jmaiken · 01-04-2004, 05:59 PM

Is your cousin in Virginia? There are plenty of WRX guys around here that would give an arm and a leg to race and check out a Maybach.
