Guys, the fastest benz u can buy today is the CLK-GTR for a cool mill. After that, for 60k you can get the supercharged 349hp SLK, much lighter then the big boyz. After that the C 32 then E 55.
SL-55 will be a KILLER, from my understanding the revised 2003 S-class will also get the new powerplant!

Futuregs, I don't have AC Schnitzer. AC is actually my initials. I had 19 inch Hamann PG2's with full Hamann kit but now I'm looking into MVR rims. I have a Dinan5 which conisists of, Dinan, CAI, Air Flow Meter, Stage4 Software, Stage2 Suspension, Tranny sofware, Exhaust, Front Strut Brace, and 3.15 rear end differential. Right now from the outside, my car looks stock except the exhaust and the Dinan5 badge on the trunk lid.
Lexciting, very impressive numbers! Sweet! One day, I hope I have the courage to take the plunge and supercharge my car. Did you ever run your car at the tracks? Ever achieve 12's? That would be my ultimate goal. I see you live in MD, maybe we can hook up and check out each other's ride, since I live in NOVA.

ACDinan5 - no problem. As soon as it is out of the shop, I'll let you know. I am in Arlington/Alexandria all the time. You should come to SRT when they have their Dyno Meet. Get your car dyno'ed, and shoot the ******.

The CLK-GTR is not legal for street-use in the USA. So the quickest/ fastest Mercedes(from the factory) that you can buy and actually drive(street), is the SL55 AMG.

SL55 is not available until at least September and even then I assume it's WAY oversold.
