Couple runs from some of the local meets over the last two weeks. This car never ceases to amaze me for a stock, 12 year old car. I need to get a Go-Pro

RC-F, 40 roll

Auto C7, dig

Same car, he launched better, I got too happy and spun the tires

Nice, are you keeping it stock?

ItalianJoe1

No, tuning soon, probably gonna remove cats and possibly add a tiny nitrous shot for cooling.

2003 is 500 horsepower, right?

ItalianJoe1

Yes, the biturbo V12

VMAX7

Six Hunnid!!

In the third vid im guessing you hit the 130+mph limiter lol

ItalianJoe1

Yep lol.

Gotta get a tune just to remove that, seems so silly to limit such a powerful car to such a low speed. The car is just pulling so hard still at that speed.

VMAX7

Understood. Personally, I wouldnt modify an older turbo car unless you want a bunch of parts to start failing every month.

Id find a reputable MB garage that has STAR and pay them to raise the limiter to either 156mph or 186mph.

So far I havent had anyone reasonable enough to up my limiter yet. Itll cost $850 for my own STAR but thats cheaper than replacing a bunch of failed parts!

ItalianJoe1

Any old Merc is gonna have parts failing all the time, it's not my daily driver so I'm fine with that and I bought the car cheap enough to not mind the upkeep. I'm gonna attempt to get the car into the 10's in the 1/4 mile, it's such a great starting point it seems silly to not take advantage.

ItalianJoe1

Also I'm gonna have a star unit in the next month, if you want I could raise the limiter for you for cheap.

VMAX7

Gotchya and yes ill take you up on your offer! This limiter is really detrimental to my health lol
