FIRST DRVE!!

It was a good new bad news day. First the bad news. The new ECU somehow locked while we were programing it. Beckmann already has another on the way. Since it starts pretty much the same way the Brabus/Startech car does we decided it was time for a ride!!! I am uploading vido now and unfortunately my camera does not have sound. We NEED someone in Dallas to come and take some Video for me. I am posting the slient vieos anyway. I also took a normal picture of its first fillup

This is the engine running:

SORRY NO SOUND

YouTube - first start up

In this video Robert Krause is pulling it out of the shop and is noticing the trans seems to be slipping. Turns out I forgot to put four liters of trans fluid back in after the swap. but the engine needs to be running to do this properly.

Jumping on it in a 40 zone

Sorry for no sound but it sounds an a lot like this:

YouTube - Mercedes SLK 55 AMG exhaust sound (MUST hear!!!)

Driving impressions: OMG!!! I had to use a little less throttle to leave the light. the first time I did this the car jumped forward and the front of the car lifted while the back squatted. The torque is really amazing. It really gives you that slammed in the seat feel while your cheeks roll back. I let Robert Krause drive it next and he turned off the traction control and stabbed it from a roll the car took off while the back end stepped out to the left and then squirmed back back and forth looking for traction. Robert's reaction was "you can get yourself in some real trouble now". I took it for a long cruise in a 70mph zone and everything was just perfect. the car seem very normal when cruising but as soon as you touch the throttle you feel instant torque and hear a roar from the exhaust. I hope to find someone with a good video camera to take the next videos.
