see what you dont know is that there is an underground movement to relocate rudy to the south so he can build and race year round!! part 1 is complete as rudy has tasted the sweet nectar of tn. shine and part2 will be showing him that southern gals dont hibernate!!
rudy the slk the xfire was born from was built in bremen germany not karmann. (picky i know but i gotta keep you straight!)

Hello Fellas! I was the owner of the E55 motor, and I could not be happier to see that motor in such a nice project! Rudy is definitely a mastermind when it comes to this stuff. Marcin and the guys over at Speedriven are top notch as well.
As many of you know we sold the 55 motor and stuffed my E55 with a V12 in it. , She is up and running already after Marcin planted the motor in it and my tech here in NY did the wiring and plumbing. Marcin ( speedriven) will be coming to NY to tune at end of month.

I'm happy to see this car getting the recognition that it deserves. I had the pleasure of having Rudy fly down to Maryland to work on my car. Rudy is a mastermind, and watching him work with my ECU was magical
I almost attached him to a ball and chain in my garage

I totally forgot to give you this poke!!! Both the Crossfire and the SLK rolled down the same line at the Karmann factory in Osnabrück Germany. Had the seats and that stuff installed in Bremen but now we're splitting hairs. BTW, Did I mention I got my hat?

I missed this thread when it was new. I'm glad it got bumped. The engine looks so clean it's ridiculous. It's seamless. I doubt anyone looking at this car could tell it didn't come straight from the factory that way. Just awesome.

This is NOT the only Crossfire running (yellow one and a blue one) around with an E55 engine...............
The workmanship on both cars is impeccable!!
