I just meant in terms of power output. I have no clue on actual performance.

That sounds about right... the one really good thing in that car is the transmission. It's not a dual clutch, but it shifts extremely fast for an automatic. If the E39 M5 had that kind of transmission, I'm willing to bet they trap almost the same.

ok i raced the ISF today. it was dead even from start to finish. i did as u guys said. just stomped on it. did pull on him at all. now i feel like there is something wrong with my car. to be honest with you guys. from 0-60 it feels really strong then after that not as strong. im ordering a new intercooler pump and a heat exchanger in the next 2 days.

Just looked this up on DragTimes because of 55kAMG's post today. There are stock ones running mid-12s, supposedly.

The upgraded cooling will help a lot. You have to remember that these cars loose a lot of power due to heat and it has been in the 90s lately in Houston.

Cooling is a must!

Headers are also a good cooling mod.

Are you wanting a black grill? I plasti dipped mine and it looks fine with the matte finish. Do a search on plasti dip and you'll see some pics of stock grille which were dipped.

just ordered a carbon fiber diffuser, from my research is seems that many people are having trouble installing them, has anyone found the best way to install them?

also i am looking for the trunk lip in carbon fiber, the style thats on the E63 not the huge one. i know JL motoring has it but they say they are out of stock, and on ebay, they all need a month to ship. so where can i get it for a fair price?
