Only a smidge quicker than your 300M? What have you done to your 300M?

It's certainly quite a smidge quicker than my 300M, both of them ('99 255HP and '01 250HP).

Chrysler stats say about 1+ second faster (depending on who's 300M times you take) on the sprint but at almost 1,000lbs lighter, punchier tranny ratio and better traction with those stickier fat wheels, the feeling definitely says faster hands down.

Always room for more horses in my garage but the car holds itself quite well with what it has now. Kits are available from the usual Mercedes mod suspects to take the R170 platform all the way beyond 300+ so the potential is there, especially for a body rated at 52Hz and I'm sure they'll do the Crossfire pretty soon.

I doubt turbos but they can throw in a Kompressor supercharger or bump it up to the SLK32 AMG's setup which will fit in just fine as it belongs to the same R170 Mercedes platform.
