I don't see why these cars aren't much much faster by now

What's funny about the lack of serious modders is all the swap questions I get, they actually turn down the whole thing because I charge $1500 for an ECU lol. It's like, really? You're willing to spend ton's more than that on parts, and spend tons of hours in labor, but my fully factory ECU is too much? Lmao. That's another reason Mercedes modders in general aren't faster. It seems like almost everyone that owns a Merc thinks everything should be handed to them, when 99% of them haven't done a damn thing to better the possibilities of any Mercedes.

Glad you got a block man, can't wait to see you run 9's.

Your definitely right about certain aspects negative of the benz tuner crowd compared to other car groups and those groups have haters too . Their's way to much hating and lying and bad advance and ripping people off on parts on this site . If I had a extra motor I'd donate to the cause . Their's only a handful of genuine car enthusiasts on this forum and we all know who they are..

Oh and by the way blackbenz, I have read up on all that faulty pulley stuff that you claim and there's a few guys running that RTR pulley with no issues but, you have had issues with almost all dealings, give me a break man lol

Forum members often forget how valuable information is... there are guys out here that go out of their way to mod the hell out of their car and post their findings (in details with pictures and all that) so that when you do the same, you know what NOT to do. That in itself, could save you thousands. The OP here is not coming here and begging for donations or asking anyone individually for a block, and at this point it doesn't even matter because he stated that he purchased one already.
