Like the cousin you ignore when the caller ID lights up with their name on it. The one that you tell youre on "vacation" when he says he is in town visiting. That cousin? Personally I dont consider an uncle's ex girlfriend's, step dad's mistress's, b@st@rd son a 5th cousin removed. But hey, everyone's got an opinion.

Come on, Smokie, there is a bit of SRT lineage hiding in your underground assigned-parking garage - lets not get too elitist. Slapping a blower on it does not rid it of the DC imprint. Put it this way, you've turned your cousin from Cousin Eddie into the cousin you call when your German girlfriend gets treated badly by the other gals from Stuttgart and Detroit.

Welcome!!! When you do mods, keep everyone posted, take plenty of pics and if possible do before and after dynos. I think I can safely say that everyone on the board is always interested in seeing the mod transformation.

Nah, the weekend sled is like the trailer trash stripper hottie that doesnt have a lot of class but f*cks like a **** star....you know the gal you can take home, parade around your freinds, but you cant take home to mom. The heffner blower is just a bolt-on the same as the fun bags Dr. 90210 installs for 5Grrr. Both are high maintenance, and both are equally useless for anything other than a quick drive around the block. The SRT-8 is the toothless fat chick version of the hottie that tags along the WT weekend gal and is munching on french fries and **** blocking your game by giving your bimbo a bad name. Shes not good for a nice long term ride, and shes definitely not good enough for the idiot trophy gal.

Our weekend sleds are like the cousin that won the red neck lottery and turns left on Sundays in his Home Depot plastered cart..........It gets you a lot of thumbs up from the beer drinking crowd......but in the end he is still a neck.

very funny stuff!

but...

they share the same transmission (programmed differently)

the srt8 is built off the old w210 chassis

suspension components were used from the old w210

and number of electrical components were used from MB parts.

they have the same blood line.. its a cousin.

did you know that?
