Car came stock with a 5.4L supercharged V8. Originally stated at like 480hp was the fastest 4 door sedan of 2003 (first production year).Ok now, hold up. What motor did you stick in that thing? Is the same German motor?
This is 100% why I cannot bring myself to buy foreign, especially German cars. Even during the warranty period, I have better things to do with my time than to be in and out of the dealership for frequent "routine" service. I'll keep driving my Chevy that only needs service in the off chance something breaks.In typical German car fashion, they require quality maintenance with good parts and the constant thought that it will zap a thousand dollars if you don't talk nice.
You ever seen a dirt road?I haven't done anything, but I did go to MonsterJam yesterday. Same as last year, I get home and start looking at lift components lol.
Now I want to step up to 8" and 38s on 16s. I always try to steer clear of trends. Even my current 20s are classic 8-hole style
I do still aspire to get s bigger turbo/sticks/fuel and run a 12.99 or better on big tires. But that's not a minimum $5k and guaranteed transmission destroyer View attachment 131172

I've been known to take the long way home every now and again..You ever seen a dirt road?
yeah I don't know any actual spots. I used to just hit the construction zones but there are houses there now. My fronts are getting down there too, and procomps arent aggressive to begin with. I'm just a pussy and afraid I'd get stuckObviously need to get you out my way.
After a good trip, you'll find clods in the driveway a year later.
That’s half the fun.yeah I don't know any actual spots. I used to just hit the construction zones but there are houses there now. My fronts are getting down there too, and procomps arent aggressive to begin with. I'm just a ***** and afraid I'd get stuck

As well as the part of the story that you will remember forever.That’s half the fun.

not lately though. Between my front tires wearing down and me being a puss, and the grueling clean-up, it's been awhile. View attachment 131174 View attachment 131175

For a car that started life as 70K+ auto they are a bargan at the sub 15K mark. I paid 11,500 with 94 thousand on the clock. With a pulley and a tune they are a blast to drive and have over 500 to the crank.

I can cheat by in that I work at the MB dealership so I have access to parts at cost, the full special tool catalog and the fact that I have been working on them for 18 years.

If you are referring to Alex, you won't be hearing from him.There's a gentleman here that hasn't checked in in an awhile that swapped out an Audi power plant with a Chevy LSX. Nitro fueled, Ford 9" rear end. It's a plain 4 door sedan in black. The only thing that'd make it plainer' would be a "Baby on Board" sign.
I'd like to see one these German cars scoot. Everything around here is $500 Honda civics with a 2.2liter out of the Honda preludes. With decent tires up front. The little crap boxes can pull a 12 second 1/4 mile with nothing more but an engine swap. Then there's the newer Honda accords with turbos. The rest is loud muffler Mustangs with an exhaust note that sounds exactly like, 'Give me a ticket because you can hear me hotdog it from three miles away".
I'm surprised TGT doesn't have a car and or a truck club.
to be fair, I only wheeled during or after a good storm.Another "Boulevard Cruiser" only dirt is in a construction zone. Oh well, different strokes for different folks.
gotta love the w211 AMGs. although those long tubes are grossly overpriced.Working on this feller. Currently has long tubes and a tune. I am planning on pulling the blower off it to install a new pulley, injectors, meth injection and a larger throttle body. Planning on over 500 hp/tq at the wheels. I am actually going to do some real road tuning at the Texas mile in Victoria next month. Not sure on MPH but I should be well over 150. View attachment 130997
