SL 6.1 Brabus, E55, SLK55

Thats one great looking car! I have to admit this is the first time, I see the Kleemann lip on a black SLK and it definitely looks better than mine.

Also Brabus monoblock IV does look really good on the car but I personally would not want to do Brabus, Kleemann and AMG on the same car.

I have to admit seeing this make me miss my slk 55.

No problem brotha. I'll be on the track when you're ready.

BTW, I just got a helmet cam connected to my front tow hook. I got the idea from Easty. I shot some footage at night but it looks like crap. Hopefully, I'll get a better day shot. If so, I'll be posting some track footage soon!

Ahh, no politics. I think Renntech is likely a better choice for $/Hp than the Kleemann options. I don't really care for one manufacturer "over" another, they each have pros/cons (including Brabus). I'm just curious how much dynojet power the Renn system develops. When it becomes avail ('ala C55 or SLK55 for example), maybe you can share Adam.

Hope you don't think I was trying to be an azz - I ain't like that (I outgrew "mine is better than yours" long ago - its just money & time. All 3 tuners make great products & it's up to each consumer to choose what is "best" for their particular needs. Soooo, I'll check out the other thread about the CF hood. See ya Adam.

Na, Matt, come on brother. You know i was just teasing you! You still do owe me coffee though! Anyways, you, Jesse and Dan are always welcome here at EuroElites. You guys are like the V.I.P

Yup it is up for sale. Heard the guy bought a CLS55 and an ML63 for kleemanization (now a word).

I've seen this car once in stockholm, it sounds absolutely sick. Amazing stuff, that.

Oh, also, he is asking 1,150,000 SEK (swedish crowns) for the car. Thats just under 160,000 USD. (159,447.62 with 1 USD = 7.21240 SEK from xe.net).

He claims that the car cost over 1,380,000 SEK new (thats 190kUSD), that it does 0-100k/h in 3.7 seconds and spanks most cars from Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati, etc.)

well i dont, but assuming his claim of 0-100km/h in 3.7sec is true, and given that 100km = 62mi, i suppose 0-60 would be like 3.6, maybe 3.5. Thats fast.

That seems like a lot....on the Kleemann website you can go to their sales page and they are selling a red SLK 55K S8 for 75,000 USD (which seems cheap bc a stock SLK55 AMG is 70k), maybe I am missing something not included in the Kleemann website price? Boy I would like to get my hands on one of those!!! I would get the S8 w/o the doors and I would keep the Brabus rims...those are HOT.


P.S. Manufacturer LINK

^^^^^^^^^^
75K is a good deal.

I guess that price is low because its an 05 without all the options (NAV). However, thats a great deal of performance parts!

I guess you're missing VAT, but from what I gather, you guys don't pay all too much VAT over on your side of the pond...

(comparing to the 25% that we have to dish out on everything....)

Right...since the car is in colorado springs, I figure all we need to pay is sales tax, and in NY it is 8.25% plus luxury fees.
