MBFLO, keep it and and just enjoy it. I have 2 kids, and maybe going for 3 so I like the idea os having "back seat room" in a fast car. I am in the works now with modding my fuel system and getting a new tune.
jmf003, good to see you checking in. Looks like you ran a freakishly fast time in your SL. Nicely done. I have taken mine down to 131 speedway and ran a 12.2 @ 115 on street tires. I'm not all about the track, I like a 50 mph roll on a little better.
Let's see how many of us are out here. Keep it up guys.

12.2 @ 115 is outstanding if you are stock or running a pulley swap + ecu tune.
I agree...these cars are just starting to hit their stride above 50.

If you are open for a suggestion, check out the TTM loop fuel rail. It's a nice mod (safety + extra power) and if you are replacing injectors it's a small effort to upgrade the fuel rail at the same time.

Already talked to Bruce about it. That's the route I'm going. Thanks for the heads up though. The only thing is I have to get is a retune with this mod. Nice little pricey upgrade. Oh well. This is the price for having big boy toys. Plus I love to see my buddies face when I keep up with him in his 03 Cobra SVT. Priceless!!!

Anyone in the Grand Rapids area, spring in just around the corner and I would love to see a few more MB's out and about. We meet up at the Sonic just south of Grand Rapidson US-131, and typically go for a midnight cruise around GR. Me and a few buddies try to go as a group and keep things fun. Even if you don't have a MB, get out and enjoy the cars. We get a couple of guys that have Lambos and GT500's as well as my buddy's 600rwhp 03 Cobra SVT and my other friends 500rwhp 04 Cobra SVT. I will keep you guys posted on upcoming events.

Anyone here going to St Ignace? I'm headed up with my 03 S55 AMG on the 28th of June. Hope some of you guys can make it out.
Right now, I'm working on upgrading my heat exchanger. I have it sitting in my garage waiting for me to start working on it. Guess I better go do that.
