That's what I have lined up for my CLS55. Still thinking about the large TB... apparently there are different airboxes used for it versus the regular TB so I need to make up my mind fast. With installation the large TB will be at least an extra $3500. Not sure if it is worth it or not, from what I know the RennTech throttle body upgrade is just a stock part bored out to 78mm.

The 73 is Bad News. Let my "Ex" drive my CL500. Ist time. She got a ticket on the 73 in less than 5 Minutes. They sit at the top of the hill and wait.
She got a "Lidar" ticket going 85 MPH. He made her do a sober test too.
I have been doing the 241 from Chapman down its not as patrolled.
Take the SL55 up to 110 MPH real quick and back down 80.

Yeh.. it means the dealer didn't make it happen.

The car arrived at the Dealer late Friday night, so it is officially at the dealer.

So now because of the Holiday on Tuesday.. Won't be ready until Thursday.

F-ing bummer. But, I'm tuff

Next few days are extra torture.. above and beyond...

Okay, it is official!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will pick the car up Friday.

Stage 4 RENNtech will be installed and ready to go.
Looks like the rear deck spoiler is the only thing not going to be ready. (it would be if I'd have ordered it from Adam)

Have officially stopped sleeping.
