very nice car.

just a quick question, how many % is your window tint?

it looks very classy, just the right amount of see through.

Hey Speed,

K1, K2, etc have different meanings from Kleemann depending on your MB model. Curious, can you confirm what the "K1" mod is (ie a pulley, etc)? This way we can "see" the power gain from your mods over a stock AMG CLS when you post your dyno numbers.

BTW, anyone know what a stock AMG V8 (ala E55 or CLS) puts down at the wheels (380 RWHP? or?).

Thanks,
-Matt

The monolite is 8 pounds lighter than the TS-6 in the same size. Per wheel. SpeedThrills made the right choice in wheels. What he should have done was the RENNTECH engine upgrades...

The same mod from renntech was 2K more and from what I have seen and been told do not deliver any more reliability or hp. Easy decision for me. Also was told Kleemann (made in Germany) products have to be certified before they are sold where as Renntech ( U.S. made) does not. I'm sure both are equally as good, just no reason to pay the extra $ for the mod name to match my wheels.

as today we grow stronger & stronger is because of our passion about cars & our customer service. i can not stand if i have one single customer leaving the lot without a smile on the face. therefore i can not stand if anyone on the internet is considering bad mouth the company's name.

sorry for the vent & let's move on.
