One of the wheel pics shows W211 E55 brakes and then the front shot of the car shows C32/55 brakes. I've seen the video before and blown it off as half BS.

i could make the bumper fit for right money. definitely acceleration without obvious suspension mods for weight transfer and track only tires is very limited and not nearly enough power either for sub 4 times. even with 900 hp looking like his car does o-60 wold be no better than my car

You're going to need a worked 5.4L Kompressor under the hood and some big 'ol slicks to hit sixty that quick.

And a Sprint Booster because my car definitely takes a second to make sure that the pedal is in fact planted before it gets on it

Yup, sure is. Its been so long all that stuff has been on the market, i doubt it would be easy to find one like that. There was a set of w202 lorinser fenders on ebay or craigslist a little while back that were really nice... id go with those before i went with the bumper...
