Unhappy Delayed apology

Sorry Art, no harm meant. It took everything my car had to keep up with those boys.

I think my car is pretty comparable to the E320K, a hair slower off the line, but right in there at highway speeds. Of course, the only way we kept up with the 430K and Vector was traffic holding them up.

Note to self: Thanksgiving traffic is the wrong time for a spirited drive!

SEC Pics

Here are a few pics. Not too good, but you get the idea.

The license plate is from the P.O. It now reads RENN SEC.

Unhappy Not much original AMG

Unfortunately there's no real AMG engine or suspension work on the car. At the time of the pics, it was wheels, tips, floor mats and badging (even the wrong AMG badging for the year).

The PO is a big AMG and RENNtech fan; he has his new AMGs delivered directly to RENNtech for "fixing" but keeps the AMG badging. He wanted this car to "match" the rest of the garage.

I've replaced the trunk badging with RENNtech which is more accurate. If I keep the car and drop in the supercharger, I'll probably drop all of the badging or do some self-promotion for BergWerks.

And looks like a turd under the hood. Huge ugly block o' metal, or factory look? You decide which is a better deal.

And I'm still not sure it's even that much better, I believe (could be wrong, and I'm sure I'll be corrected) the HPS blower is STILL to come out with a decent dyno run.

Roots vs. twin screw

Roots vs. ltwin screw... there really is no comparision for higher performance that is why MB is going with the later.
