I am absolutely crazy about the sound of my engine when it winds up to aroung 5k rpm. Downshifting sounds pretty good too. Tire squealing is a bit disappointing (I'm scrubbing off speed ya know)and I'm not really sure about the sound when the ABS is controlling the braking. BTW....can anyone...
Re: I\'m so close, srt with black stripes and startech rims what do you think?
I had the Startechs on my Gen 2 but can't seem to get them for my SRT as they are not available in the US yet. How are you going to get them?
I was asked by K&N to use my car to re-test an SRT on the current production version of the kit. Bert, the engineer said they had a problem with a supplier delivering plastic roto-molded tubes that were not properly made. He said that the problem has been taken care of and no future kits...
Wah...Wah...Wah...You've done nothing but whine about your car since you got it. You drive the thing so slowly that patching the tire won't make a difference....in fact, you can just use the run-flat without air for another 2000 miles and that way you don't have to buy new tires!
Re: The Viper is a waste of money.
just saw an ad during the Olympics for the C6.
It looks like 2 13 year old kids are driving them doing stunts. I think they finally found an honest ad campaign....let the children drive the Corvette and let the adults drive the Vipers.
The best dyno runs I showed after installing the K&N kit on my otherwise stock 03 SRT was 456 rwhp and 484 ft/#'s torque. You might want to look at the average run graphs in my photos or check the previous post...
Kelly06...if it makes you feel any better, I have a CL55 that is a great car with terrible quality. Making things worse is that I've had the car back to the dealer numerous times and have written to MBUSA and they have refused to have anyone from Mercedes call me. They say the dealer is the...
Sorry for the delay....I can't seem to figure out how to get the graphs posted. They are saved as Word files on my computer. Can anyone tell me how to post?
I had K&N install a FIPK Filter kit on my 2003 SRT. We did 8 Dyno runs...4 stock and 4 with the new kit installed. The average of the runs shows a gain of 10HP and 10 ft/lbs of torque. The maximum run showed gains of about 15HP and 13ft/lbs. :thumbs: The kit took 15 minutes to install and...
You might give Dave Jenkins a call at Victory Vipers. He might go up to see the car for you and charge you a fair price to do the job. Tell him Andy sent you.
I think the air noise you hear with the a/c on is air leaking from the rear edge of the windows. The blower on full creates positive air pressure in the interior with the top up and the windows closed. The air escapes from the upper rear corners of the side windows in my 03.
For those who went to regular tires over the run-flats I have 2 questions.
1. What do you do about a flat? No spare and no jack make it hard to deal with on the road.
2. What do you do about the lo-tire warning. If the sensors in the run-flats are missing doesn't the warning chime and flash...
Classy Cars Detailing in Huntington Beach is where I go. Ask for Jeff 714-891-3733.
He does the detailing for Chip Foose and does the factory cars before shows. Besides doing a great job, he's right next to EMI Racing Suspensions and Erik Messley can work wonders with the handling.
Tell him...
I just saw a European show on cable that compared an SL55 to an SRT. The SRT beat the car in most performance categories but not by much. I have both an SRT and a CL55 and just sold my Gen II RT/10. The CL would pull the Gen II car with no problem but it doesn't handle as well. The SRT will beat...
Sorry Marv....I might guess that the future market for tires is for Gen III and beyond. That means ZP tires unless owners convert and risk running without spares.
I won't be out your way until the temp stays below 100 for a week! You're welcome to come visit me at the beach!

I put a set of 19" PS2's on my CL 55 about 8 weeks ago. They ride much better than the stock Bridgestones and the handling is amazing. They are great tires so far.
