I was reaching out to Matt Farah to see his opinion on the W211 E55, and he let me know he just tested one recently for an upcoming segment on TST.
It should be on the youtube channel around the week of June 19th.

Any now we wait...

*He wanted to include the fact that the car was equipped with hand controls. But I don't see that being a big factor in the review.

He did a segment on my previously-owned CL55 a little while ago, if you want a little M113k action now

Link to the segment?

How was he in person? Seems like a super down to earth guy who just loves cars.

Also did a CL600.

Any specs on the one tested?

Dad's designo that is stock drives a bit different than a buddies slightly stock Stage 2 / 180CP /Eurocharged Tune (520whp/618wtq) and they both drive different than my 185cp/meth/rice rocket on coilovers with rear camber arms and refreshed suspension.


I mean please tell me it is not a stock one...pretty please

Hi folks,
Here is a very relaxing (disabled hand-control) throttle to use and solidly mounted and tucked nicely out of the way of knees etc. See other comments on the main page comment, or I can copy in here if that one is not visible readily.
We did hardware and software ourselves, even has launch facility (throttle inhibit on brake active). Throttle grip is 3D printed.
We have also fitted to a Sprinter and I test drove a lot on my W203 C240.
Cheers, Greg

Greg, you probably want to create a separate thread with better photos. Curious what's going on but it's hard to tell anything about how it looks etc.

thanks,
Will

OK Will, can do. We made the colours match too well, it does blend in a bit!
