Feeler: Trade/Sell my 550hp SLK55 for a 4-seater (E/CLS/CL55, S/CL600, M5/M6, etc)?
I love my kleemann 2006 SLK55 AMG (only 9k miles, like new), but unfortunately, I may need a bigger 4-seater in the near future (moving north). I would prefer a modded 4-seater AMG or ///M, something along the lines of E55, CLS55, CL/S600, M5, M6, etc. Maybe even a 996TT (not sure about that one though). I might even consider an SL55/SL600 (+cash obviously). My ideal trade would probably be a ~500whp CLS/E55 or a Renntech CL600.
The sticker on my car was around $75,000, the upgrades were around $30,000. Kleemann quotes 550hp with my upgrades, my car dyno'd at 430whp with the latest tune (no fan blowing on the car in hot, humid weather). Car stays cool even in 120F Miami heat! The car is very fast and runs 11.7 @ 120mph.
I'm definitely not in a hurry and nothing is definitive yet, just throwing this out there.
Mods (probably forgetting a lot of minor stuff
):
kleemann supercharger
Kleemann ecu/tcu
kleemann long tube headers
kleemann sport cats (secondary)
Kleemann LSD
Custom exhaust
Evosport underdrive pulleys
Phenolic spacers and thermostat
19'' Sport Edition wheels
Michelin Pilot Cup tires (235 and 265) (same as Porsche GT3/RS, nice tires!)
Carlsson/Bilstein suspension (1'' lower than stock)
Tinted windows, taillights and side lights.
Short radio antenna

A couple of videos:

http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/f...=25-150mph.flv (just playing around on this one, not on it 100%)
PM or email keith86d@yahoo.com. If you would like to buy the car instead of trading, please send offer.
Thanks,
Alex
