Lunch will be at J. Alexander's, in Oakbrook following the end of the dyno pulls! Now, I will need an accurate headcount at least Saturday morning to get them to set up a table for us. And we will be doing seperate checks this time, as the economy has cut back on me purchasing meals for everyone that comes to an MB meet.

Nick

Sounds good to me will the BMW(M6) be coming with us?

Great! I'm 90% in. I have a few friends that will be up there for the auto show as well. My friend Chris who bought my E55 will also be coming up (but neither one of us will be dynoing our cars). We will be there just to hang out.

Also, after J Alexanders we will be going to the Auto Show. If anyone wants to caravan over after lunch with us, it would be VERY FUN.

It would be nice if we could take a route that would allow some 50mph roll-ons . Maybe you natives can work on that route!!

Dyno day, lunch and auto show....Talk about a hell of a day!!

We can take 294 down to oakbrook, that will allow 50-0 roll offs for Jason to coast to a stop while he waits for one of us to go back with 2.5 gallons of gas when he runs out.

Nick

I'm good with J Alexanders as well.

I'm up for a dyno,lunch,show day!

Lets get more people out for this!!!!

Bump!

I can't believe not one 63 guy wants to throw down? Why aren't you dyno'ing Jason? Have you ever put the M on rollers? Would be interesting to see...

-m

Ehh, I'll run it at the track this spring. That'll be good for me. It will be interesting for me to see the others dyno...

I KNOW there are many more Chicago natives on mbworld than this!!! This site is for "enthusiasts," atleast show up!!!

It would be interesting for you and a 63 to dyno on the heartbreaker... would be great to see a back-to-back comparo of the two powerbands... don't be a sally!

-m

J, tell you what, if my dyno vehicle doesn't come out of the garage due to clouds in the sky or something, I will give you my slot. In fact, I am so interested to see what a stock V10 puts out, I would even still pay for it. Us crossover guys need to represent......even if we have to stop after the second pull to get gas.

Nick

Has Aleks prepaid, because we might need to contribute to the coat hanger fund for him to get his car ready in time.

Nick

Ok.... Its on....

you guys want to know what nicks secret car is.... its a yugo!

You know why it wont clear a 2x4, its because the front bumper is trailing on the ground!!

your turn...


btw... I know there are alot of people around the chicago land area reading this, even if you have never been out to a chicago meet, this would be a great time to get to know everyone in the area..... except nick

I'm In, this place is like 10 min from my house

It is a Yugo....You go keep up with me! I'm sorry Aleks, you were wanting to borrow that 2x4 to reinstall your exhaust. Sorry, I used it as a ramp to get my car up my driveway.

Nick

And Aleks sucks.

Nick

I can run faster than your yugo

Fixed

JT, how about I bring your car over and we dyno it then return it to you later in the day. I promise, no burnouts.

Nick

Nick, ur a big, fat liar about not doing burnouts w/ my car, ur sig says it all

i really wish i could make the dyno meet, i want to see what my E63 puts down and hang out the chitown boys.





























and u too Indy boy, Jason.

John

So are we gonna do Alexanders for brunch then the auto show? There are lots more who can come but maybe their moms didn't give them permission that day...

You are in to dyno? We'd love to have some W203s strap down! There have been a few that have dyno'd there before (and for that matter, W210s with the same engine), you will be able to get a good idea of where your car is at. Please confirm you are in to dyno as well.

Is there still room for a 2005 C55 AMG Kleeman S8?

Plenty o' room!

Are you up for the drive afterwards?

Put me down as tenative; I would be traveling from St.Louis and its based on weather Right now its calling for snow next week!!!

If it is nice, I will drive up Friday night (have a good friend in Plainsfield, just off I-55. I will hang there friday night then get out early on Saturday.

Pretty much it looks like it's I-55N to I-294/290N to US-20, then its on the left side of the street about 3 miles down?
