I did it as a matter of principal (and the need to replace an already blown motor). Everyone here said it couldn't be done. Those words were repeated by mb mechanics and speed shops. Even the AMG skunkworks giggled at the thought. And that is why I felt I had to do it. I don't like being told it can't be done.
And that is how the Frankenfire was born.
Now that you've completed an awsome task, perhaps you can tell us if the
car has any issues with stability on hard acceleration to high speeds? It has
been stated that the reason the SRT has the fixed rear spoiler is due to
the N/A style wing not being able to extend quickly enough to provide the
necessary down force to keep the car stable. Just wondering if this is an
actual issue, or not.
