What performance mods would you guys consider if any?

I think the car has enough power for the streets. What would better the handling of the car?

Maybe some AMG Nurburgring suspension or some nice Bilstein or Carlsson coilovers?

Cold Air Intake & a blower (same power as an SL55, just 1,000 lbs lighter) . That is what I am getting it - loads of torque & power. It should be about as quick as a Porsche GT2.

If you don't want as much power, the other fellas above posted good suspension upgrades. I'd add rims/tires if you don't like the stock rims (I'm not a big fan of them).

See ya,

Thanks for all the great suggestions. Love to hear from others as well.

What happens to the warranty of the car when such mods are made?
