If those half shafts survive that kinda torque off the line.....I think the German designer of the AMG rear half shaft system needs to be given a medal or something.

Just an amazing design to handle what us modded guys lay into it.

Nothing a pair of Precision 6262's can't handle. Honestly there is one Benz that could hit 9's as of right now...it's JC's but he is not a dragster and he refuses to do a pass in the 1/4. He is more of a 1 Mile standing guy, I repsect him for that. If he took his car to the strip with a fat steam roller I have no doubt he would pull a 9.99....

Thanks for the update. I know Marcin has been quiet but he is doing his thing, did you pick up your car? I know you must have seen my car around..

How often will you drive this beast ?

Look at this video, and be careful

I am hoping it will be my Daily driver. I have missed it for quite sometime. Need time to catch up. LOl.

do you have a # for Marcin where I can reach him?

Razorecko

sick build !

V12Godspeed

Hammer, It is tough reaching him. Honestly best way seems thru e-mail (info@speedriven.com) E-mail him and give it 1 or 2 days. Sometimes, I have a hard time reaching him myself. Sorry.

Anyone going through the same thing as me with this thread? Everytime it pops back up, I rush in thinking "This is it!! It's done!!!" but its just another guy giving thumbs up and I do the same thing everytime "Dayum!!"

Can't imagine what you are going through Jod!!

V12Godspeed

Trust me I hate putting things up and not providing any new type of update ...Lets see what marcin has for me this week. Project should have been complete a long time ago but it has been tough.
Sorry for the false hopes...hopefully will have something better to say soon.

Do you think that car in the video could take a ZR1?

mikey33

OMG . That **** is crazy. Too much power though and it seems the car cannot keep its traction.

Tech-Tune

Any updates? How's the project coming along?

V12Godspeed

Car is no longer at Speedriven, I picked it up about 1 month ago and is currently being worked on by my tech. Speedriven did the implant which was very successful. My tech has done the wiring and all oil connections and ECU programming along with all the little gremlins.

I will have updates this weekend with pictures and a full write up. As of now we have turned ignition on, she is fully assembled and we are planning on taking her around the block this saturday.

Still working on the drive shaft, exhaust and we have removed the stock turbos and plan on replacing with something else.

Good to hear this wasn't scraped! One of the best projects to date

You're a saint for having this kind of patient. I hope it'll be worth it in the end.

For me, the E55 will have one or two more mods and I'm done. GTR will be my fast car (hopefully get one in the next couple years).

Believe me it's HARD to wait days and weeks and months for a car...ask me how I know...

Anyway the thing about the V12TT, in modified form (and in essence what Clarkson is saying about the Brabus v12) that concerns me most is "usable power and torque" ...I had a really good discussion with Marcin about this as well. After a certain point the performance envelope of a car is cut short due to the limiiting factors that translate the power the car is making. As such if the car is not designed around a particular target window it will not reach it's potential not because of it's power but due to it's inability to use the majority of what it's producing.

^^^^How do you know????

E55AMGGG04

Sick good news right there. I've been talking about your project here to all my buddies. Good thing im local im going to get to see this carrr in person .

V12Godspeed

A saint is an understatement. If you want good results you must be /have patience...who am I kidding. I was harassing marcin every minute. It is tough though.


Well the 65 I owned was putting out 900+ Rwtq...I don't know if this one will be close. All I know is that big heavy 2 door felt like a lightweight once those snails lit up. To cut a 1.62 as I did on them is more than what I would want. Some sticky 16" M/T's should do the trick.

Thanks Bro. Once I am ready to roll with you guys I will let you know...Send me your number or text it, I lost my cell last time with contacts.

NEMES1S

so did this get done?

V12Godspeed

Car is almost done. No rush since the shop doing the work is doing a very good job at piecing together the missing pieces. Fabrication work is a pain but it is coming together very nice.

OUTCAST

Nice, put up some pics.

V12Godspeed

I will once she is finalized but I think there is a video of her on another thread.

As of right now she has turbos hanged and one side of the manifold done. Steady but surely.
