congrats on the sale, I know a part of you went with the car, what's the up and coming?

 

I def want to stay within the Mercedes Crowd. I just picked up a Viper and now so I will be doing a project with that. I will have Speedriven build the Viper as well, I will most likely be going with a twin turbo kit as far as power. I will start with a coilover kit to lower it first and do a nice set of wheels.

 

Awesome Viper, congrats. Keep it between the lines. The Viper is a a beast already. Be safe.

 

Thanks, Since the CL is still getting build I will let J (the new owner) take over the thread and keep updating on his build if he wants here. I will also throw some stuff in on my Viper as I go on with that build. The first thing to do is get that thing sitting down with a Coilover Kit and get some nice wheels on it.

Any Pictures of the CL with the single slat grille in Black? RoadHazard come in

 

I never ended up getting the single fin painted, the shop quoted me $250. I figured it wasn't worth it, with the Asanti grill on its way. The Asanti is going in for a powder-coating once I find a shop that will give me their time. It's tough here in MN. I'll dump some pics and update my thread after classes.

 

Congrats on the Viper, I am sure this monster wont Disappoint!

 

Speedriven just put on my new Coilover kit and lets just say the car is very very glued to the Ground

 

WoW!!! Absolutely gorgeous (generally not a fan of chromed or highly polished wheels but....)This combination of mods, stance,wheel style, red calipers, tint etc just took this Snake to a completely new level

 

Thanks Bro.

Working on it slowly. I wanna get around to finish the rear valance and do something about the wheels. But looks good so far

 

Yeah that Model Snake always drew my eye, the hood in particular is perfect! IE way more civil than the latest iterations from Dodge etc.. Just the perfect mix of hood vents, from their actual size/placement/amount w/addition of front ram air scoop made this particular model in the Viper's evolution perfection inmyop & a big reason why I chose/bought the MishaDesigns Widebody...

Here you see the similarity (still love the Viper's version 100% more but the Misha was/is still the ONLY widebody w/a wicked Viper style truly vented hood, I always wanted to add the Viper front air-ram scoop @ the front of hood/nose right where the hood hump begins to rise etc)

Next to my new to me '11 RRS SC V8 w/SC snout Pulley, OE Dyno tune & Brabus Valvetronic controlled exhaust AWD makes 700hp @ the Crank w/28-30% DTL on Autowaves brand new AWD DynoDynamics..

 

VERY NICE RANGE. How are those things? only thing I hear here is that they break down a lot I always wanted to pick one up as a daily. I'm actually in the market now since I will be selling my Z06 shortly to get a daily. I have the S550 but my wife drives that all the time.

 

It's my 2nd RR in last few yrs, 1st was 07' SC w/only 390hp it was great coupled to stout gearing 3.54's if memory serves? But the 2011 is whole new league above w/510 hp stock on same gears, they went from old 4.2 liter 390 hp to 5.0 510 hp w/bigger twin CAI Blower & much faster shifting w/extra overdrive gear 6 speed vs older slow 5 speed.

They ride like butter, I test drove a newer ml63 & it can't touch the ride on RR's period, but don't take my word please do the same test whatever SUV u can name it runs them into the ground it will go ANYWHERE & top it off w/simple ECU/pulley it runs 0-60 in 4.1 seconds! Yes the Pre 2010 had mass elec gremlins, but have researched & found 10' up are superior & knock on wood not a peep in nearing 5 mo of ownership w/2011.. Oh yeah the interiors on 10' up rival & inmyop slightly surpass my SL no kidding.. But if you're into power etc buy the 2010 on up they share the bigger 5.0 liter w/bigger blower that the Jag ISF use & they loved it soo much they kept using the same platform all the way thru the present 2016 RR Sport etc

They changed to the better Trans/engine/blower in 2010 on up, buy something from these years & you're set! Edit: The model I have came w/full Startech-Brabus Body modifications & 22" KAHN Wheels, the original owner had purchased, I'm the 2nd owner.. The kit retailed for $18.5k alone (Funny, turned out when I found the last mod, Valve Controlled exhaust from Startech-Brabus to complete that mod package, it was @ the same exact perf shop TAG Motorsports, the original owner bought everything else from. They recognized it & pulled the VIN & looked it up in their computer & gave me a copy of ALL the work done/purchased when it was brand new, minus owners pertinent private info lol & I was pleasantly shocked to see he spent the $18.5k on basically a RR Sport dream package I would've wanted done the exact same way) add '11 low mileage RR Sport Supercharged V8 version w/every available luxury factory option added it cost $60k + tax/Lic/Reg So keep this in mind, to find other SUV's in same price range when you're researching other possible SUV models for comparo IE to better help make your decision

I highly reco them to anyone in the SUV market I take this thing everywhere & luxury combined to power AWD is sooooo sick Go get in 1

 

How have you guys been doing? Any new V12 TT news happening? I have been out of the game for a while now. Im considering to get into an SL65 AMG Widebody early next year. I will also try to get some updates from the current owner of my CL to see how that thing is coming along.

Any thoughts about the CL63 AMG 08-09?

 

I would skip the naturally aspirated 63s entirely.

 

Kamil did you not see an SL600 got into the 9's

 

I was originally looking to buy CL65 AMG, but after I couldn't find a decent one, I decided to buy 2009 CL63 AMG. I, honestly, don't understand why everybody complains about that engine. I test drove 2006 SL600 V12, it wasn't faster, the engine was very quiet, the sound wasn't really interesting. Don't know, I love the 63 AMG. Here in Europe it is considered to be a lot "more" than the equivalent CL600.

There is only one drawback; the stiffness. Very harsh ride. CL600 felt much more relaxed and gentle. The CL63 is too sporty.
On the performance note, I had Race Logic the other day and did a few runs. For example, I measured 62 - 124 MPH and got 9.4 seconds. I don't know if it is fast or slow for you, that's just the time of my 63.

 

Long time no talk how is everything in the Merc World?

I made another change and got rid of the Viper here is the new car. Big plans for this one plan on keeping it for a while.

 

wow, that's yellow.......drive safely duder

 

looks good!!!

no more than 7 psi on a stock bottom end

BTW I got a BUJ 5.2L block for sale if you want to sleeve it

 

Ha I figured it was you over on lambo-talk.. Looks like we have similar styles, I just picked up mine in the early spring this year..






Let me know how you liked the change. Its sad but I have put maybe 100kms on my cl65 this year but a lot on the G.. Love it..

 

Twin turbo I see in your future hmmmm

 

That thing is gorgeous! Bet the V12TT could still outrun that bad boy though, I can't wait to see what you have planned. You have some good taste, Kamil!

 

Thanks

I will keep stock motor for now. Baby Boost to start with

Yea we do have similar taste. Awesome car

 

def a twin turbo setup

Ohh yea your car could run down the Lambo all day. Until I get twins and than its a match up

Thanks

Cant wait till I start getting it done
