.........as far as Ben's car goes, anyone can elect to sell their car, so I don't see the bid deal. As for Sleestack's car, I think that even if the car was to be on the road someday, the time and effort and the wait it took might not be considered reasonable. If you slap on an LSD on a W211 E55, you will all likely hood, get better performance at less cost and definitely less wait. Further if you really want a super car, you can do what Kleemann did to the C55 and get a 0-60 time of 3.8 secs which is as fast as the SLR. Going the Sleestack route was bold but perharps not neccessary to achieve the same results.
