Too bad our cars just missed out on this.. This is encouraging news though.

 

I seen that a week ago but does most of us no good sadly.

 

Maybe we should all be posers now and claim we have '08 E63's...

 

it helps if you all have other vehicles that you race

 

When I read that I was thinking to myself that every time I go to a track I'm putting 2008 Mercedes down and leaving the model part blank. I know it's for everyone's safety but its hard to take a car like that and put a 10-pt cage in it.

 

they prob wont know the first time at my track the guy couldnt believe it was a 05 since my car is super clean.

 

08+ :
<--03 :

I guess it's an excuse to make some changes in the future

 

That's it, from now on my car will be '08.

 

I doubt they'll be checking registration to see if your car is an 05 or an 08. Especially with cars like these, or a C6,Mustang etc. that crossed their cutoff date with no changes.

Where you might have a problem is if you were in any sort of competition, and won. You can bet on the second place guy crying about it to get you DQed if you were in an 07 running in the tens with no rollbar, and you beat him in his 08 running a tenth slower with no rollbar either.

 

We'll to be fair some of us have "09" front ends So I'm going with calling it a 09.

 

Change the front bumper and rebadge to the E63

 

Done the bumper, but I'll shave all the rear emblems off.

 

LOL, I think I will use my newer Benz`s insurance and registration, if they ask in a few weeks. All letters and numbers to them, when it comes it Mercedes.
