swtenlow,

I am looking forward to the 'Import Xpression' Import Showcase Tour coming to Washington DC in September. Put that Kleemann SC in your ML and bring it to the show. Good Luck.

Thumbs up ML55K specs

Just fooling around here in Colorado I was able to get 4.9 0-60's on a regular basis (remember we are 6100 ft above sea level) the ML is making 17% less HP up here than it would at sea level. 1/4 mile times are harder to pull off- the police around here know me pretty well . I would imagine that low 13's or even high 12's are easy- a CLK (albeit lighter by a wide margin) can pin 12.4's all day long with wheelspin out the wazoo.

Ill post some more pics later today.

OK, I am bring up a old post but I have a Q for Kleemann.

Can you spin all 4 wheels on the ML55K?
That would be hella tight, but if not that would make for super launches.
