My SL74 RENNtech finally came!
Bought her off ebay about 3 weeks ago and she finally came!

The car is an absolute blast to drive! It has so much power! Feels like a lot more than the 575hp RENNtech claims it has. I turned off the ASR on a damp road and it just lit up the rears all the way through 3rd gear!
I will be pulling the engine out of this car and putting it into my 1992 600sel. Yes, yes I know there are only 25 of them in the world and some of you will go berserk hearing that I'm tearing it apart, but please… I've heard it before. LOL. I'll upload more pictures and some videos once the car is detailed.

That thing looks awesome!
You should look to make it down to Denver for one of our weekly meets once they start again.

Uploaded some more pictures to flickr last night--just use the same link as I posted before. It should've updated itself.

My MB indy is in the process of swapping the 7.4L into my W140. As of yesterday he had both engines out and was swapping a bit of the wiring over. It is a lot of work, but fairly straightforward. Hopefully by the end of next week the whole mess will be swapped over and done! I've got an MKB LSD coming from Germany to help get the power to the ground more evenly. I also permanently disabled the ABS/ASR in my W140. The SL will be receiving the V-12 from my W140 and I'll be selling it. So if anybody wants to buy her, she's up for grabs!
