Drag Day at Fontana, CA - tomorrow!
. Ask around and form your own opinion.
all said they saw the frnt end nearly lift off the ground, this was @ 38-40psi in tires, ima run em @ 17-20psi @ trk...Rotor size is the exact same dia as ALL the SL55/E55/CL55/S55, only the SL600 came standard w/AMG brake pkg calipers are same size too, only dif is rear rotor isn't cross drilled... ALL other CL600/S600 models came standard w/puny calipers/rotors from 500 models, it was an expensive option for them when ordering.
One race took place before Coils went south on way home that night, Fast n' Ferious Fart machine rolled up @ st light, all clear light hit green had my left foot on brake right foot on gas, she tore off sooo violently I pulled EZ 2 bus lengths to next light a block away. He had his lady w/him both in utter shock, "what the hells n that thar thing?" "What is it?" (tot debadged) told'em it was electric hybrid

Is it safe to run a 255 tire on a 7" wide rim? It must bulge over the rim alot.

w/zero problems...
did you just edit? I didn't see the wheel trimming the first time.. So you are going with the widest tire that with fit that rim right? Those wheels sure do look close to you calipars.. What rotor size are u running?Ahmad, no uncircumcised over hang
look snuffle-free to me

Sole reason I bought these was they weigh 13.7 lbs each, not trying to skimp on $$
If saving $$ was my only concern I'd of bought a used beat to ***** setup off forum, wheels are remanufactured look brand new, Hoosiers brand new...Bought those over MT's to save additional weight as well...Maybe I'll try their full SLICKS next time, they are exact still a 26" tire w/slightly smaller section width yet notice rec rim width 6"-8" & ONLY WEIGH 18 LBS VS 22 LBS
Hopefully you can then sleep better @ night not worrying about my cheap azz hitting the wall for buying bargain basement wheels

But by Jan-Feb of 2011 when I collect my bonus and tax refund, I will take this little C car to the limit and still have enough left over for a downpayment on a used SL65 for modding in 2012.

No offense but don't even put out a date on anything you say. Just do it and then tell us what you've done. You have yet to come through on ANY claim that you have said thus far.
Honestly...not surprised...Good luck with your bike and takin the little C to the limit.

You should try to finish all your upgrades by November/December of this year so you can join us at Famoso. We will be renting Famoso again for a BIG private event around then. We will aim for a low-temp, low-DA and low-humidity day and it will be a great opportunity to test out any new mods and see how the car is performing.

Once you get money in Jan-Feb of 2011, who are you going to give the car to to complete your project? If no one is willing to work on your car now, what's to say they will work on it later? What, because you have your bonus and tax refund money to play with then? I'm not bashing, but I am truly wondering. I've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt many times but your decisions sometimes confuse me. I truly am wondering.

If there is anybody out there that can do this with confidence, then I would probably give it a shot now and put off the bike replacement. My back is so stiff today that I stayed home from work but the exhileration from a bike at speed can't be beat compared to being inside a cage.

What I'm getting @ is what others are pointing out, your constant updates w/HUGE promises 1/4 stats ET/Trap's adding Turbo's etc w/ZERO delivery (remember the SL65 acquisition came up & gone from you nearly 2+ yrs ago)
Sure Vadim fuked You, but to continue the update/
when no one even has/will take your car now is making this painful/to the point of laughable to read about anymore
Adding wait till you get your Bonus & Tax refund then look the *** out is really
from an outsider looking in... WTF are you thinking bro
Maybe time to get a new hobby? RC car racing? Fly fishing?

What happened to Brad/Evosport??? You posted they had agreed & taken your project on?

Kleemann refused to do custom tuning for that much boost, Brad suggested using a piggy-back, fuel conditioner-FIC which I heard can be dangerous and now Rich only wants to add a few more lbs of boost coupled with Long Tubes. I didn't change my entire engine Compression ratio, larger valves, ported heads and SC plus a $5K transmission upgrade for 2 more lbs of boost. Waste of effort IMO.

I can talk to some people for you about that custom tune, NO promises... But I have (2) very capable well known expert tuners in mind, (PM me ONLY if you're serious & have $$ to do something in the immediate future, if Bonus/Tax refund is needed? Remind me after you get it.)
I'll make the phn calls. (ribbing aside I'd actually like to see you bear some fruit after ALL THIS FARKING TIME etc)

I just hate waiting another 6 months and not knowing if the car the will run right. I also don't want to drop over $10K into this car as the retail on this car is prolly not much more than that already and I want to get into a used 12 cylinder by early next year.
I want to do this in Jan-Feb timeframe as my wifey wants me to do it with play money instead of taking it out of investments or savings. I want to replace my Duc but I think that's out of the question now.
If I sell my MV Agusta this month, I could throw that money into my last atttempt at maxing out the potential of this car. If you know somebody that can do the pulleys and tune for $3K, then I don't think I need to wait. I have the pulleys but Vadim lost my larger injectors in the fire. The fuel pump is already bigger than stock and the Kleemann fuel kit should allow for plenty of fuel so I'm not sure I need larger injectors yet.

Hmm I'll ask...Edit: Bad news once your name/car comes up NO ONE WILL touch it...Since you've invested far more than it's remotely worth & future options are bleak @ best I say sell fukur @ auction...
Or drive down to U.S. side of San Diego border/Mexico leave windows down & keys in ignition & walk NO run away...(you get where I'm going w/this yes? lol)
Get the SL65 mods are PROVEN/EASY/REASONABLY CHEAP vs modding Supercharger, & the bar has been raised 750-800 rwhp is REALITY w/LARGER upgraded turbo's etc...I think 1000 bhp street car should finally fill your void...
