I just got home and it's been a crazy day, so I'll probably take more pics soon.

But, for good measure here are some pics of it taken a week or so ago. Keep in mind, the car had been rained on just a few days prior to the pics.

How ‘bout you take some of the tach and speedometer bouncing off their limiters’ before it’s sent down the river?

An S54 flirting with redline is OTC mechanical engineering expertise at its finest, imho.

It won’t be too long before you’re WOT exploring the limits of adhesion with that S65B40 masterpiece. Serious thrust and chassis tuning that is quantitatively superior to anything Affalterbach currently offers – except perhaps for their CLK BS and DTM iterations.

Should MBW even permit you to post around here afterwards?!

haha, I can't wait though... but a sense of financial responsibility in today's economy is just forcing me to be a tad bit more conservative... it'll be here, but perhaps a few months later than planned
