I'll post a later link about going to smaller ports for HIGHER port velocity.

I think Brabus has some larger cams and a different ECU.

You could add turbos to increase that port velocity as well.
How about cutting the rear end off that wagon and graphing it to the rear of a 500E to make a 500TE. Now Daddy would really like that.

I love the black wagon....When my paint wears out and is no longer shiny....and the engine is an utter wreck....


Black and a C36 are going in. Might be a long time and I might be like 30 by then.....but its happening mark my word LOL.

Does the C36 engine drop right in or does it require some work?

They almost caught with this weapon.



Next pic, applying some artistic pressure on the fenders to convince them that they will like these AMG wheels and 245's .

I have a 92 wagon with 7.5 225/45/17 and 8.5 245/40/17 amg's off a 2004 clk but they rub in the back. Do you think there is hope for me? I would love to keep them on but they rub when I'm on the freeway once and a while. You did a great job with the black wagon.

17x7.5, +37 offset

Rears
17x8.5, +30 offset
245/40/17

I think I'm in trouble. They are ultra thin 5 spokes off a 2004 clk 500.

Wheels should be fine. My Monoblock IIs have the exact same offsets and I run the same tire sizes.

Since mbenzman used his "artistic license" on my wagon, I have not experienced any rubbing....PLUS - I'm lowered.

Is your rear suspension in good shape?

Yea the Gayenne, the SUV that saved Porsche financially from 03-06, broke all the SUV world speed records and set unbeatable times on racetracks meant for "proper sports cars"

I mean, I guess I wouldnt be happy either if I got spanked by an Gayenne everytime I pulled up next to one at the stop light either....

Your right though, Porsche should have taken a page out of benz's book and built SUV's like the ML /GL /GLK


and its Panamera.....



SORRY TO THE OP......

But this thread made me start searching craigslist for a wagon of my own...... THANKS GUYS!!!


keep up the great work!
