Damn,sold before I got a chance to whoop up on it! I say go with the 600 so I can see how the mods work on your car first! Just make sure you get at least an 05 so you get the new command. Some great deals on them now! 65's are around for good money as well!

Hey Jeff,

You would of had a hard time beating that K2 beast stock The new owner is getting the TB installed next week and will even make it faster.

Thanks for the advice on the command even though I never used it much on the E55. I have seen some 65's going for under $140K. Maybe after the winter and into 06 they may drop more.

Ill bet your right. As far as the command, it is more for the ability to play MP3 dvd's that hold 800 songs and the bluetooth stuff that will let you use any phones coming out from Benz. I have the 04 SL command in my Gwagen and it sucks but if your not into any of that stuff it don't matter. It is a buyers market, look around and have fun! Oh yeah, and I will spank your new car when you get it!

Juice it, you need some drag radials for your 65. That thing was moving for being on street tires.

I think your right. I might have to pick up a pair and try em out. I am also debating the renntech ecu/tcu although it doesn't add all that much to the 65 like it does to the 600. I have seen the guys below with this setup hit 11.3's which is moving.

Your car was fighting for traction at Capitol, you'd probably drop .4 off your ET just by installing DRs.
