I want the car to run like it came from the factory that way. Using a Chevy would be easy to make run but nothing else would work, MB uses CAN bus which means there a whole bunch of computers and they all have to work together. I have already considered using a stand alone computer such as a Motec but about the only thing that would run is the engine.
