The GT350R stock doesn't touch the S65 in a straight line lol. Not even close on a top speed run. Just two different cars the 350 is clearly a track weapon which the Benz is not. I built the Benz for half mile races in the 4 door class.

I'm talking from firsthand experience. The S65 can't keep up with the GT350 on the Autobahn. Once you hit about 6500RPM, it's all over. I am not talking a half mile. I am talking miles (kms). The GT350 leaves them behind. Simple.

You've lost your mind. The Benz makes double the torque and an extra 200hp and is specifically designed for top speed and has a higher speed limiter. I actually own both so not much more first hand than that.

I had decided to keep it, so I put a tag on it and kaboom.

As long as it's in warranty I'd blow 10 engines, then after I had my fun have a new one installed then sell it.

They aren't making any more.

My guess is the guy who built your engine was having a bad day and assembled something wrong. Unlikely to happen again.

Or there was a part failure. Happens...
