Now that Mercedes owns AMG, Brabus is now the best Mercedes tuner. They make Florida based RENNtech look like a butcher-house quality car shop.

That car is sick, and maybe the first one I have seen with authentic Brabus wheels

If you dont mind me asking, what does the owner of this car do for a living?

Well, I actually haven't met the guy, but my buddy who works at the dealer met him. He said that he used to race F1 cars. I don't know what his name is though.

just keep in mind that link is for an SL65, not a SL600 modified by BRABUS.

I guess so, but the only thing you will beat it in is acceleration. It will be really hard to beat the mercedes in handling no matter what you do. If you keep all the creature comforts (just like the Brabus SL600) its going to be hard to beat it. But even if you dropped 50k into your mustang, it would not drive like the SL, the Brabus SL600 is just in a whole higher class.

Yes a mustang could beat one in a race, but it still would never come close to the quality and refinement.

I'd much rather the Cobra + $50K than that over priced brick...
You would rather have a 600+ hp Mustang than an SL? If so, you are stupid.
