I think that is Mark's (prodigymb) old car. Nicely done and a good deal at that price.

Incredible car from a fellow modaholic!

Course you'd need to get a quick compression test done, but pending she passes, this car has had all the hard stuff done already.

It's a steal.

thanks !! indeed that used to be my car.

- guy added the hideous front grill
- tinted the tail-lights, i was contemplating on doing that (this ad made me happy i never got around to it )
- the front carbon fiber lip is missing too
- it looks like it's raised up now too...

thx ! yeah i would def do a comp test if you are considering this car. i used it the way it was meant to be used hehe. however i never had any engine issues, no misfires, no strage stuff.

i miss it sometimes. auto+dr made it unbeatable on the street. for daily driving i just hated the auto too much, it was my first car in auto ...ever. a lot of seriously great times in that car.

yeah he knew exactly what he was getting. he was looking for a car like that.

here is a video that shows how the intake sound and also my car in action vs another e55 and a 996tt. supercharger whine was amazing

BTW I had DEI intake sleeves on the intakes, i'm not sure why he took them off. they made a noticeable difference in IATs

If I remember correctly that intake setup does not use any airfilter. It was made initially for member gangsterbenz.
