That's hilarious. I posted some pics on my website for a guy that blew his engine. Someone also found the pics of my brake ducts and they assumed it was the same car. Now I know why there are so many hits for those pics-it's been linked on several websites. No, my engine is doing well at 13,000 miles. Mid Dec I will be trashing the brake ducts and racing pads and going back to stock. The car will then be turned over to Mrs. Chill. I will only hound it on weekends. She was so upset that she had to get a used car instead of a new one.

Dr Chill,
I know this is a MB site, but would you mind keeping us posted every now and then on whats new with the Z06?
I plan on going down a similar path in the near future, and until MB produces a REAL track toy, I am forced to shop outside the MB family of vehicles, which I really hate doing.
OT
Hint for MB - make a TRUE light weight, limited edition run of SL55's/CLS55's and you will have no problem selling them. The season is ripe to collect a hord of disappointed BMW fans. Make a true performer for the masses!
Build it, and we will come....
