E55 project finnished, so I need a new home :(

I just completed development of the E55 yesterday, our final gain was well over 150hp at the rear wheel improvement over stock, running 92-93 octane fuel, so time to move on to a new project. I'll post pictures and details over the coming week.
My new S600 was delivered yesterday, so a new round of sillyness begins. The goal is to produce as much power as the E55, without turning it into a hotrod and destroying the inherent S class virtues.
Unfortunately this means I'll need to find a new forum to post in.

Stephens, where did you get all the $$$ to do all this??? Man, I'm jealous

Since your E55 project is done, could you donate the car to me??

Having just bought a workshop, we have 3 E55's, 1 S55 and an SL in now being upgraded, with orders for another 6, this is just locally, not including export business, which is this much again and we haven't even started marketing yet.
So to answer your question, for the first time in my life, the rediculous amountsof money I waste on cars is actually making me money for a change.

Stephens,

Just give Powerchip a call. We co-dev'ed the 600 ECU and it gave 55 at the wheels on our crappy CA91~!!!!

You will love it!

Thanks

Brad
