Sweet, mine is in Sept. I can't wait. I hope they let us drive them like the Volvo event, that one was set up very well.

Sounds cool dude. I'm actually planning to sell in my CL next year and get a used SLK32 Renntech from a guy my dad knows. It only has 11k on it!

Renntech doesn't put anyone to shame, they are in the business to modify customers MB cars or sell you a full conversion.

They have an ECU for the S600 TT that can get the car running in the high 11s.

I was driving home from Miami and was just merging around a camper in the middle of the night from the onramp after getting gas. A guy in a C32 AMG with a temp tag pulled next to me and braked really hard slowing down to 45mph and gunned it here and there...I figured what the hell...Threw it into s/s, dropped it into second, heard my VTECH and wonderful Injen and then watched the little star on the back of his car get smaller and smaller by the time I hit third at about 75...By the time I hit about 115 for fourth he was honestly so far away, I almost couldn't tell what kind of car it was...I know they are quick from a stop, but my gawd I got terribly @$$raped...I caught up about 5 miles later as he was cruising at around 72 and I was at 85 and he sped up and we did it again while I could only drop to 3rd...From 75mph start it was even worse than before...It was fun, though...

AMG's, Rentechs, Brabus...whatever form, they fu(kin' rule...

Those C32's are fast but they're kinda on the small side. Mantis how well did you like the interior?

interior was very pimp. well put together, well thought out. But it didn't have _anything_ on the interior of the s600(which is to be expected obviously). I splooged all over the inside of that thing.

DarrinB, I'll get the url for more info. Its not openly publicized on the mbusa.com website, and I don't remember it offhand.

Also, some numbskull decided to link directly to the video on our site without giving us any sort of credit so we've changed the URL to the video. If you are using the old MOV02297.MPG link instead of the new c32x.mpg link (check Mantis's top post for the link) you will get a very tasteful video of "Deathlok thrusting in the direction of the problem".
