Racing W202

Just found this video on YT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPAqvkNq5MM&NR=1 Skip the first pictures (too ricey for me) but look and drool on the racing versions (looks like DTM cars to me) and the set-ups . Those are serious looking machines and should blow a couple of minds when you look at this. Just wonder what these feel like on a track

Very nice. @ 16 seconds there is a front lip spoiler I wish would fit our C43's. Drives me crazy!

Doesn't the hood star create a lot of drag for a DTM racer??


Also interesting that the exhaust in on the other side in the picture of the trunk

Check some wicked driving http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCS7C...mbedded#at=161
I guess the drivers don't pay the cars nor the damage

Love the airbox with the ITB's and topside injectors! Thing must sound insane. Like the radiator setup also.

If this airbox setup came stock I wonder how many people would still re-engineer their own aluminum pipe CAI system with a cone filter
