actually not that bad....we have a spare C32 engine that we are playing with as well.

The twin turbo setup gets extremely costly when said and done...

wasn't let going to offer theres for $7k? Maybe add another couple of grand for R & D. i'm sure it'll still be cheaper then tearing apart the block and upgrading all the internals.

I think everyone would be really interested in seeing you achieve your goal, however, like everyone has said once you get to 380 or so you reach the "law of diminishing returns".

Above that is certainly attainable, but at that point so is a C55, E55, SLK55, etc, etc. I think everyone would like to really see someone really go for it. Few have, and some of those barely lived to tell the tale.

the new SHO looks promising..but i think the pricing is little too high. But those cars are going to be monsters in the used car market.
