They were very short with you because they know just as well as you and I that nobody would pay their premium prices for minimal gains.

I was at Renntech a few months ago and asked what they thought of Brabus and the other big named tuners. He told me that they are basically just a name, etc. What a joke!

i'm 5'6", 145lbs, and no can sit behind my driver seat either (under my normal driving position).

its whats expected from a coupe. A CL, surprisingly, isn't all that much bigger in the back seat either.

dam... just noticed how off topic this was from the thread... sorry!
