Got the deal done. What a fabulous car to drive! A bit dirty as we just came back from the mountains. Better pics to come soon.

Thanks all! Not that I'm going to do this - and this may of been (probably - newbie here) talked about before but supposibly we can bump the 550 to 525HP and 600 ft/lb of torque.

I'm in Colorado and not affiliated with VR - just found them surfing the web.

Thanks. Now when I go back to my 7 - she seems so slow.

I did have some fun today. Getting onto a long onramp to the highway there was a Nissan 370Z. At first I thought it was a NIZMO but just had the body work with aftermarket exhaust. He got on it so I decided well….

Lets just say I was the first one to merge on the highway. So far I love my "sleeper"!

I like those mats. in my old ML I had a nightmare of a time with weathertech!
I ordered their custom fit, they sent me the wrong mat for the driver's side(it had no grommets to anchor the mat, it would slide forward under the pedals.

It took me two weeks to get them to admit they'd sent the wrong product, and they wanted ME to pay the freight back.

I finally ended up returning them, the mats only came up about 6" in the footwell, so the ball of your foot would still be resting on the carpet. Made no sense. Does any 2012+ ML user know if custom weather tech mats actually cover the carpet now? If not, these rubber mats look like a good alternative.
