Lorinser CLK55
Was out eating dinner Sat night with the wife... When we left Benihana's in Port Washington there was a Magma Red CLK in front.. Very nice looking.. until I saw it's ***.. Lorinser CLK 55 AMG... Coulnt help but stare along with the crowd that was gathered around it.. I would imagine there arent too many of those around the NY area.. Anyone in here own it? Just curious.. The car looked awesome!

Definitely want to see that one.... I'm particularly interested in the fenders because I would like to go with bigger tires... who did your Kleemann SC install for you? Seems like you are willing to spend some money on your car.... ever consider cams and headers as well?

I didn't know Kleemann had come out with those pulleys yet as I have been waiting on those as well. As for the internals and electronics being upgraded... I didn't think any upgrades were necessary. The only problem I'm running in to is that because I have a 3.07 differential, the rev limiter is hitting too fast in 1st and 2nd gear. I am currently waiting on word from Evosport about doing some remapping to slightly modify that. I'm surprised that your transmission is not taking to the power well. I didn't think Kleemann was having any problems with that. Are you going to do a final dyno on your car? Thanks for the info.

Those fenders look whacky in the picture. If you have any pics of your car can you e-mail them to me at sleestack666@aol.com. I haven't found any body kit that I like, however since my car is black, I would like to see how it looks on your car. Thanks in advance.

I didn't mean whacky in a bad way, I just meant that they are really aggressive and different.
You have to be putting out more hp than that. My car was a stock
430. I had cams and headers which brought my hp up to around 340. Since the Kleemann insatall I'mm getting 400hp at the rear wheel. I would think that given a stock 55 supercharged puts out around 430 at the rear wheel, your car should be puuting down around 460 at the rear wheel. Let me know how your dyno turns out.
If you could get me the info on the pulleys that would be great. Ever consider bumping up your differential. Might be too much on your car but the 3.07 is really nice on mine.
Thanks for all the info. Your car sounds awesome.
