With regards to the bi-turbo is that over old figures or over the official stock figures?

Hey KLEEMAN, just curious, is the ECU upgrade done at a installation center or does a owner unhook the unit and send to you type of upgrade. Thanks.

Car and Driver had a comparo between the Mercedes S600 and the BMW 760iL and the S600 came out on top.

That wasn't my point, however, the mag flogged a 0-60 mph of a mere 4.3 seconds out of this huge sedan. This is as fast as a Ferrari 575M and within a tenth or so of a Dodge Viper. Moreover, the Benz with the electric bandaids monitoring wheelspin could run it every time.

My question for you all is: At what point does this become rediculous? Who needs or wants a limo that can blow off Porsche Turbos at the dragstrip?

...............What is the exact status of the supercharger replacement for superchaged V8 AMG engines. Mostly want specifics regarding date and time to purchase, not really genneralioties as there has been too many rumours floating around.

Ted-

KLEEMANN DK is starting to deliver the SC replacement in two weeks. Then its summer holidays in Scandanavia- so the first of August would be the first possible time to have one- although since they are being made in small runs if you havent ordered one you will wait for 6-10 weeks.

What would be the list price on this s/c? Is it the same as the W210 kit or higher?

Higher. Final pricing will be available after the summer holidays in Scandanavia. This system uses an entirely different manifold housing, compressor size, drive assembly, complete ECU system etc. Dont be surprized if the price was twice what a NA 55 system is.

So how more rear wheel power does the V12 make over the V8 after all the specified Kleemann upgrades?
