Did I Forget Anything?
When the car arrives the Dealer will be Installing all Accessories before taking delivery.
Long and careful consideration has gone into this car. Again, RennTech's Throttle Body upgrade does not include the 07.
Did I forget anything? Any suggestions??
Thanks

I threatened to not accept the car if it was on there.
So far, it appears that it is standard equipment... not an option. A request for deletion was made. I was told to expect it on the car.

My CLS55 is K-1. Certainly no complaints.
The dealer has set themselves up as Renntech Dealers. They are doing all the installations as well as maintaining and honoring all MB warranty's. That is worth peace of mind.... and we no that is Priceless
I didn't find the price to be that far off between Kleeman and RennTech...

We have talked about some options removing it.

How much is the Kleeman K2?
Is there pricing online for Kleeman? Does it include installation or is that just a kit? Any good dealers in SoCal?
I am guessing those are just for AMG kompressors. Oh and how does that effect the warranty?

Stage K2 for non kompressor SL500s is $12,000.00 for parts only, will net you 500 hp total.

I saw this link:

It seems to imply that you go from 493hp to 560hp with the k2 package on the AMG55. If that is the case and it only cost $8K total then it seems like a bargain. that's about $120/hp
What is the 0-60 before and after given the change in HP?

The 593 HP I quoted was directly from a Kleeman pricelist that Cory sent to me.

I think you will see a difference in your 0-60 times. Shaving off a couple of tenths is alot. Hang on

If you really want to shave some time off the SL55 and save some $$ to boot.
Sign up for a driver's school at Skip Barber or Bob Bondurant. These cars have more than enough power as they come from the factory.
