@velocecrat: You sir, have the right idea. I bet you could get said rapper to pay through the nose if you attach a bunch of shiny, flashy, chrome things to the car.

I'd totally pay to see a tug-o-war between this and an Audi R10 TDI.

How to make best use of this piece: pluck this hot motor out and 'plunk!' drop it into a nice, capable GT1 race chassis. Put that aside. Now drop a used base C-class motor into the CL65 chassis and sell the deal to some up-and-coming rap artist. East coast/west coast, you choose. Take the money and spend it on grid girls for your GT1 race.

The SL will look nice next in my garage next to the M5 Hurricane. Wait... I dont have a Hurricane. Or a garage. I need to win the lottery.

Gorgeous IMHO. I was expecting it to be more than $18k actually.

This "upgrade" costs a lot more than some of our cars. Ah, well, the rich are different than you and me.

If those high school hoons in Ocala would have had one of these babies, they would have cleared that oak tree. But they died because they only had 500 HP at their disposal.

I wonder if they've been able to get around all the soft and hard limiters on the ECU for maximum top speed. WAITAMINUTE. $18,900 for 80 or so HP?!?
