I think I'm going to sell the car when I get it back and wait until I can get a new 04 LS430

EH ?? Sell the 2004 M/B S55 AMG for a LS430 ??? WOW.. What are you going to do with all the money left over since a LS430 don't cost 100k

Maybe a few (if you really want to call it that).

probably upgrade to 19" wheels (probably These Rezax)


Thats about it.

Believe it or not, I really like the feel of driving around a pretty much stock car..

Also, whats it like driving a 4-cylinder as opposed to your SC400?
It's something like this:

...could have really improved that time if i hadn't spent time eating a sandwich between shifts...

watch it a few times and pay attention to the tach v/s the speedo. you'll see that when it is pulling, ... it is pulling well.
