Title Fight - Kleemann v. HPS
Sunday...Sunday...Sunday
In this corner, a Kleemann E50K w211 and in the other corner a HPS 55K of their choice!
This Sunday at the Irvine Spectrum, we have arranged for Brandon Grantham of Kleemann USA to bring his w211 E50K, complete with a new body kit, steering wheel, interior, brakes, and of course 500+ HP. Attending will also be a C24K, E32K, CLK43K, and possibly other Kleemann cars. This is your chance to see first hand just what Kleemann has to offer!
HPS, if you're willing, come down to the Irvine Spectrum (it's about 15 minutes from your shop), and show off what you have to offer. This would be a great chance to see your new product rival the existing Kleemann.
Many of the Evosport staff will be onhand to answer any tuning questions you may have. The meet will start at 11 am, and is guaranteed to pack more horsepower than any other Mercedes meet ever! If you have any questions, feel free to post, or email me at ben@evosport.com.
See everyone there!

Good question! I have it in my head, but I have to get a map of the spectrum to explain it properly. I'm thinking at the Southern end where the 5 and 405 meet.

Come on Ben, you wouldn't take on Linh's challenge at Carlsbad Raceway where the rubber meets the road, not a parking lot car show to see who has the shiniest car.
why oh why...lol

There have been challenges on this board from both sides, and since Kleemann will be down here in our neighborhood, I thought it would be a good idea to let them both demonstrate and explain their products. After all, most people see superchargers only as how much boost they offer, not when, where, how, etc.

Still no word from HPS, but we are hopefull. There are going to be plenty of nice cars to see, so either way it should be a good meet. The w211 E50K will show the first Kleemann E Class body kit in the US, as well their big brake kits, interior, and wheels.
Just to clarify, as there have been many people asking, racing is not allowed inside the parking lot (for obvious reasons). In fact, this event was organized in order to get both Kleemann and HPS to bring their cars and demonstrate and/or explain their products. Where everyone is getting drag racing and other ideas is beyond me. From what it seems, HPS may not show. That's fine, at this point with all of the negative feedback, I've considered cancelling the whole event.
If you want to come down and see a bunch of Kleemann cars, or go for a ride in the new E50K, please by all means come! If you want to come and meet other MBWorld members, please by all means come! We're here for you. All I ask is that you bring a good attitude, and try to have a good time. If HPS, Renntech, Brabus, or anyone else wants to come, please do! This is a Mercedes meet, that will feature a lot of Kleemann cars. Just don't take the fun out of it.
