My commisserations to Sally.

Do you mean by fast, the fastest to 60 mph, 100 mph, 155 mph or just the fastest accelerating or the fastest top speed. I'd suspect a worked Brabus 0-60 and top speed but will be corrected I'm sure.

Good question, though.

Ricky, you must spend all day on this site!

I spelt it wrongly - should be Commiserations. Means sympathy, empathy with his loss. Guess it must be a close relative or pet.

The Kleeman is OTT, but see what you mean

I do spend almost all day This is what happens when you are 17, and it's summer time but you're stuck in an office.

condolence: an expression of sympathy with another's grief; "they sent their condolences"



Mark: Lorinser does make supercharger kits. But they are almost a no name brand for the performance category :x

Mustard: Once again.. What does OTT mean?

thanx mustard, Sally was my German Shepard who was my best friend sence i could remember.........



anywho, i was wondering about just overall fast like 0-80MPH is the K8 faster than the SL55? or what about a 6.1ish(?) Renntech (they have that rite? i know they do for the 129)SL? i would think that the NA 6L would be very fast. i know Kleeman does a good job blowing engines... so whats the verdect? Kleeman? does any one have any # to show?
