I'd buy it if I had the money.

I wish I had the most important and probably the least expensive mod on my car - THE BLUE FLASHER!!! Get out of my way ;-)
German Autobahn police should buy it )) talk about hot pursuit.

For $200K I would preferred a new vehicle and not a 4 year-old car. Heck, I have a 2002 E55 and I would have to be insane to sink that kind of money into it.

I said - "If I had the money" - by which I mean to the point where I don't care if it's 200k or 500k. Just got to have it. Plus it's a unique car.

211 E55 - sure is a good car, but it has no presence, no matter how you mod it, it still looks like a piece of soap, and it's not as rare as 210.

Whatever. Unique doesn't mean a thing. $200K? For how much performance? How much luxury? How much technology? Kleeman ain't all that.

No.... yours should only be around $150K for getting 15% less HP (707 vs. 596)

Seriously, how much is the S8 upgrade? Wouldn't expect to be more than $30-40K right?

Don't forget the which makes up more than the 15% less. You're correct on the S8 upgrade. Do it!

$200k???

You can buy a new E55, mod the hell out of it and still have a lot of money left over for gas.

........maybe I should advertise mine for $140K since it is an S7 not an S8. That price of $200K is ridiculous. By the way, JamE55, I'm interested in getting the the Camshafts but not sure how much HP it will generate. Do you have a dyno of your car?

Ted,

Don't have any current dyno. I'm going to try and get it dynoed hopefully sometime this month or the next and post it. I think it's worth it just because of the upper mid rpm pulls.

Funny how you guys don't understand that price.
If the whole thing is true and if it is only ONE car like this in the world, and if it is trully an official record breaker - it worth 200k and even more.

There were E class Brabuses E V12, that were sold for around 350k in Europe and about 500k in Russia, and they all were sold like hot dinner rolls. And no one thought it was too much. It was that one official fastest sedan in the world car.

You guys all sound like my wife .....uh oh not worth it e.t.c.......too much, better buy me a new E55.....;-) If it's unique - it's worth it. Just to know that you have one. But you need to be in different state of mind. ;-)

I'd take my S600 RENNTech over that car any day. It's more comfortable and I'll bet it's faster too.
