Congrats on the S63! It's looking awesome! I especially like the wheels on yours. They're 20" wheels, right?

they used a dark 3M window tint film and applied it to the outside of the lens cover. make sure whoever does this for you only is a professional who only does high end cars as they need to cut the film around the corners of the paint.

I have to admit I haven't been a big fan of the new W221 body. But I really like this one.Too bad none of the dealers around here have one I can see in person.

Thanks everyone. I am really starting to discover how to master the 7 speed in manual mode..... she's a monster. I had her up to 130 today but there is really no where safe to drive her in the way she is begging me too.

Noxxin - I haven't played with her in M mode - just used the paddles to downshift to slow down. How exactly are you using it in M mode - are you going by sound/feel or relying on the upshift indicator ?

I have done the richars petty driving experience a few times though a hook up I have at nascar and the fastest I have gotten up to at california speedway in a nascar is 154 so I am eager to get my baby up over that at some point. If anyone knows a legal track or place to do this in so cal please let me know, I asked about taking my cls55 out at ca speedway on the oval but they wouldn't let me due to liability issues. I did however do the 1/4 mile at CA speedway in both my E55 and CLS55 but I ran out of track way before getting close top speed. got up close to 140 in the CLS though (had the E up to 145 on the 15 on the way to vegas once and got a ticket at 115 on the way back.....i had to appear in front of the judge on that one which I really don't want to have happen again). I don't think a 1/4 drag strip is has enough space to open up the S63 to anywhere even close to 186. Where the heck can a guy really open up a monster like this???
