Your car is going to be one beautiful and powerful beast. I suppose it will be producing around 590 HP. Be careful and keep us informed about all the fun you are going to have in it. Congratulations.

I would never get tired of hearing about incredible cars. If I ever take a road trip out your way, I would love to see it. I would also like to learn more about the RENNtech mods that are performed by a MB dealership. We have one in TX. I might have to call them and discuss warranty issues. I am most interested in finding out how yours performs with the Stage 4. I am thinking that I would have to go with Stage 5 to make equal HP, since I have a smaller TB. Well, good luck and keep the photos and stories coming. Looking forward to them.

Anyone no the best way to kill yourself????



I'm headed out the door... the dealer calls.

RENNtech has JUST shipped the ECU and won't arrive until Monday...

I was just going to admit to being a poser but I thought I'd try and string this out as long as possible

Also...

Seems that many MB 07's have a tire pressure monitoring system that requires special consideration when purchasing an aftermarket rim. Do your research.

Cool... I've found a strait-edge....

Cardeliverus interruptus. A very painful condition. No known cure. Far worse than blue *****. Call your dealer and vent your spleen on him. You will feel better, and he is a dealer, won't even feel it.
I know how you feel right now. I would not let myself even think about the 997 until I actually drove it away. Same with the SL55. Don't call me when it gets in, only call when it is 100% ready to pick up.
