I couldn't believe what I was reading when I read the eBay ad for this thing. Please tell me I missed something about the W4 kits and making more power than GAD overseas.

Someone spent a lot of money on that car before they sold it...

From the ebay description:
"Approximately 0-60 in 2 seconds 0-100 in aronud 4 seconds 240+ mph car."
Well the owner was prone to exaggeration or he was gullible to believe what people told him....

He probably sold it before he bent his connecting rods Every tuned m157 I watched Tasos rebuild had bent connecting rods , or hopefully he installed upgraded rods and pistons .Originally Posted by TMC M5

Still for sale for 65k, the original post included a 2012 E63 parts car, I thought he was adding both cars hp together.

Im not really sure what stage of the tunes there bending but I seen him install the w4 kit on a e63s and I asked him if the drive train will hold that power, he said the owner be back with bent connecting rods before the drivetrain lets go, there not bending to catastrophic failure but when he pulls the cylinder head he will show you how some pistons are centered and some are scraping to one side, then he will disassemble the engine put the rods on a straight surface and show you how they wobble from being bent yeah not good! This I believe is in the middle east very hot conditions and they beat the ***** off there cars,I also just noticed that the W4 kit from Weistec is not available anymore,LOLOriginally Posted by TMC M5

65K is a great deal for this car, assuming it hasn't already bent the rods or lunched the bores. Realistically anything north of 750whp needs a built bottom end to survive. Figure another 15K for built bottom end and doesn;t say upgraded trans, so assume you will need one of those too, so another 5K, but AWD 1000whp daily driver Benz is yours for 85K. That's a hell of a lot of value!
