Vaeth E55K EL 225MPH!
I was looking online for a package, sport package, for my 03 Black E55, more power, looks etc. And I came about this Vaeth Kit? Anyone heard of it? Suppose to be real good, they modded an E55 and limited electronically at 225 MPH (What exactly is the point of that; let McLaren F1 owners hold there head up), and I just wanted to see what kind of a... 'rep' I guess; they have. Its fairly expensive, but Im willing to dish out about 25K to get me the car pictured below. Wouldn't you? So let me know, if I should do anything with these guys, or if there BS. Thanks again.

Väth
Väth is a respectable tuner in Germnay. This is the top E55 model with a "wide body kit" (I guess the fenders are being pulled out to provide room for wider track and tires), the six-pack exhaust system and a bored up 5.8L version of the 5.5L Kompressor = ~620hp according to Väth's website (www.vaeth.com). They have no representation in the US or Canada, so unless you want to bring your car to Germany the engine or body mods will remain a dream. They can send you parts though, like the exhaust. I ordered parts for my SLK a few years ago from Väth. It is better to call them and ask for the Chef's daughter Jasmin Väth as her English is rather good.

Something under 200 would be more reasonable.

6 tip exhaust is played out. I did a 14 tip exhaust on my E55. It's super-duper top secret, which is why I cannot provide pics. If you see my car on the road, I have to kill you.
If you ain't rollin' with 14 tips, you ain't nothin', sucka!
