I didn't look at the other board thread. But, could this picture be fake? Photoshopped?

If that is not some PS Mojo at work, then the owner must be damn stupid ... Besides, an S class is good enough. Need no posing required, then again you never know it does look real. What's with that RAZO sticker anyway? What a fool ... I think the son took Dad's car for a ride while he's on holidays.

If he's going to put the logo on the car at least it should be the right one

The S-class Mercedes come with several engine options:

1)S 430
4.3L 24-valve V-8 engine, 275 hp @ 5,750 rpm, Net torque 295 lb-ft @ 3,000 - 4,400 rpm

2) S 500
5.0L 24-valve V-8 engine, 302 hp @ 5,600 rpm, Net torque 339 lb-ft @ 2,700 - 4,250 rpm

3) S 55 AMG
5.5L 24-valve V-8 engine, 355 hp @ 5,500 rpm, Net torque 391 lb-ft @ 3,150 - 4,500 rpm
0-60 mph 5.7 seconds! About the same as our car!

4) S 600
5.8L 36-valve V-12 engine, 362 hp @ 5,500 rpm, Net torque 391 lb-ft @ 4,250 rpm

So, an S 2000 would have a 20 liter engine and put out approximately 1,200 hp

BTW, the photo looks retouched - you can see it in the pixels around the emblem.

Strangely enough, I've also seen an S2000 Mercedes in Orlando. It was big, but besides that, I couldn't find any information on that model.

A lot of us have already registered there since the S2K board was origianlly art of H-A.net.

I've never seen that picture before. I wonder if Honda can sue them
