I'm chomping at the bit as I have been watching these for awhile now. From the research that I have done so far, it seems that alot of the electrical bugs were resolved in the '03+ V12 models.

well the reserve price still isnt met so who knows how much this will end up costing.. but you can get close to that by getting a 03 SRT10 viper and putting the paxton novi 2000 supercharger for a few grand and getting from 500 to (750-850hp) or you could find a heavy modded ls1 or ls6 corvette

nice finds, but the Renntech CL600 would absolutely destroy both.

I will say the price on the truck is nice, but imagine the cash you would be spending on the diesel fuel.

i think both those combined is below the reserve for the CLS. i think they're a great bang for the buck. you can tow your callaway vette to the track like it aint no thang.

I'd probablly kill myself if I had a car with that much power.

ugly as hell, but would definitely give the CL600 a run for its money.

and for a fraction of the price. the name of the game was most HP/Torque for the $, right? no one said it had to look pretty. :lol:

Like Lextasy89 said, the reserve on this car hasn't even been met yet. Who knows what this car will sell for. It can't be compared until after it's sold. Keep searching.

depending on the reserve of the CLS...
this might be in the hunt...

Yeah, I don't really think I'm ready for that... Sometimes I do such stupid crap in my comparatively slow GS430 that makes me shiver later just thinking about it. If I had a cap with 500hp, I'd probably end up crushing it and myself to death :D
