Planning on putting this one up for sale soon.
Just had my 964 Turbo serviced and picked it up yesterday
I really don't have time to play and spend time perfecting the black beast any more
If interested reach out to me via PM
Car's blast to drive

Many pictures added including the undercarriage, paint meter readings, Valve covers off and compression numbers
This is not your ordinary E55 --- it's completely sorted out, nicely modified and well serviced vehicle
If it had issues, I would have never kept it 5 years along with another stock E55, E63s wagon, Porsche 964Turbo and 997 TT
I love driving them all
I guess I can always sell the stock E55 90K miles but it would be mid to high 20's so this one is really a good price.
Interested person could always drive both cars and compare ---- They both really drive the same --- No rattles or creeks and no rust

Anyone care to share a good street alignment for a lowered car?

Took the car off the lift needed to change the wagon's oil

I rarely sell anything as i have regrets from selling my MKIV Supra TT (owned two), E36 M3-4-5 (owned 3 one custom Turbocharged) and the 997 TT (just bought another one) .... so I might just keep it

Eyeing both E36 M3/4/5 and MKIV Supra TT but yesterday I drove a friends Tesla Plaid so might have to scratch that itch before looking for the other two.

The acceleration was mind boggling and very intoxicating ---- unbelievable car.

Well It seems like I might be retiring the car ---basement garage ---- and pursue the plan I bought the car for --- a Renntech clone ----

I will be on a look out for the following parts:

Renntech 6.0 AMG motor/transmission combo to go in it.

Also be on a look out for Renntech body kit, brakes and other goodies

Please keep me in mind If you guys ever find out any performance parts especially Renntech for this particular car.

Too nice of a car to just get rid of it

I don't know if there is anything quite like them. I have my 2002 I bought new. One of six cars now, still love to drive it. Has 120k miles and is bone stock. Fast (not the fastest), smooth, decent handling, and comfortable. What is not to like. Good luck with your build. I know the forum will be watching.

A lovely guy came from out of State and bought the Black Beast over the weekend.
Glad it went to an enthusiast who appreciated all the money and the effort that went into the car.
Lets wish the next owner good Luck
Looking into buying an '03 + S-plaid now

What an absolutely awesome gentleman Faast is - and an absolute Petrol Head with some *beautiful toys*. This car has to be seen, driven and inspected to believe. It's truly something special. I bought The Black Beast for my Son and I've just picked up a stock Silver E55. We're both looking forward to some driving, tinkering and wrenching together
We'll keep you posted on it's further adventures.

The new owner requested the stock seats be installed which I did (all functions work perfectly ) so the Recaro's are now available to purchase.

I will post pictures later today and if there's any interest, you would have to contact the new owner to move forward.

Currently the seats are in KY but in few weeks they might be moving down to GA

Per owner car drove effortlessly from KY to GA
