Apparently there is still a lot left for McLaren to get out of it... I already contacted them for pricing/figures. It's still ugly but with all that power can you really argue... There is always Brabus. The CGTs better watch out

meh...

So they do some engine stuff, and then throw ugly rims on the car.
::thumbs down::

However, the engine mods sound siiick

Yes, Yes.... We all know that it doesn't compare to your almighty M3 but it's getting close

I'm also really curious to see what they mean by "Modified Supercharger" did they just mess with the boost or the actual SC itself

NOTHING can compete with the almighty M3!!!!

MKB: If it's the same kind of deal they did with the SLK32, C32, and G55 it is a different supercharger -

andrew, I think its time to trade in the Murcielago
and of course get it in black.

gg makes me wonder how much hp they can get out of a v12 bt

Yeah... We'll see if this next phase goes as planned and If the SLR is convincing enough who knows :p Then off to Brabus and MKB

The only thing that would that would be a downer are the brakes. Everyone on the board who owns one seems to hate them, however, I find it surprising that I have read nothing about the loud noises they make. Even Clarkson who took the SLR on a 1800 mile trip across Europe who surely would have said something if they could be heard from a mile away. Intresting....

brabus + mkb = 800+ out of a v8k that is damn good

Yes, but I'm hoping that MKB will be a little more reasonable in their cost. Brabus wants 56K just for 30-35Hp From what I've seen on the cost of the E55 Packages I'm assuming that MKB will be in the 30-50K range. For that price I could do a TT setup on the Murc.

Hey NOTKTS do you mod your supercars? I prefer to keep mine stock....

What do you drive?

BTW: I thought you import these cars?

I try really, really hard not to give out details in public. But I do own an international supercar business (started as a way to support my habit) so I've seen most of them and own one or two of or have owned one of most of them too. One of the reasons I have so many residences is that I have so many cars -- and didn't want to have to do a Leno or a Lauren.
I rarely find myself modding one as I really appreciate the individuality...so I wondered if you actually did or liked modding yours....

i smell......bs

As I see it... Even though these cars are exclusive enough as is, the only true way to make it one off is to mod it and make it a reflection of your personal individuality. Right?

Each to their own....

Yeah, I see that, been there done that. When I'm interested in some mods I'll give you a shout and see what you've done and what you liked and didn't like....

Hey NOTKTS
The brakes on mine make a little noise but bad at all.
I have read on here some what other are saying. mine are not like that.
mine sound like a car that has haze from sitting for a while.

Stuck-pig brake squeal thread is going on right now....
Oh, and personal opinions are like belly-buttons...but I have always thought that those MKB wheels are FUGLY! ... and they stick them on the RSE too!

Hey NOTKTS-
Are you interested in a Saleen S7TT? I don't know much about you, but it seems to me you'd like owning one. Have you checked them out -- the new one, I mean?

I've tested a "old" S7 and I had a few complaints about. The fact that they are very very hard to get in and out of, the pedals are also pretty tight and it makes heel-toe a little tough, I also didn't like the Boxster Style 2 trunks the one behind the engine will likely fry your luggage. Other than that it was a great experience, plenty of power on tap but defiantly a weekend/track car only. They have begun to retro-fit pre 05 models with the TT kits and new FS/RS and it makes since to go that root IMO.

Go to sleep

I didn't like the old car either. New one is a whole new ballgame. They've re-engineered and fixed most of the foibles, so it is a much better car. For example: still the tight footwell, but the better pedal spacing and adjust feature makes for a much better situation. Just about everything on the new car is better -- and man does the new one ride, handle, and go..... A lot of performance for the money with the new car. You should check the tt out when you get a chance.
True, most of the super exotics - with few exceptions - don't have much for luggage room and you have to learn how to get in and out of 'em -- but talk about performance!
You don't take the Lambo for more than on overnighter do you? I've got one car that we always joke has enough luggage space for your credit card -- and that's all you need! Buy new clothes every day and mail the dirty ones home (will that get you in trouble with shipping biohazard laws?)
I think the SLR's only real current competition in the true Grand Tourer with performance category are the Superamerica and the Veyron.....
