i think a nice set of 4.10 or 4.11 would give the car a nice feel and quite possibly a respectable 1/4 mile time, and alot faster acceleration. all the sprintbooster does is increase the throttle response, which is well just a feeling you receive and wouldn't increase any quarter mile times or 0-60 times ect...
Just checked a MB forum- they say the 300SL had a 3.69:1 rear end ratio- that is a step in the right direction.
Being a newbie to Crossfire, I have no idea of model/drivetrain compatibility between MB and Crossfire. Can anyone tell me what year or model Mercedes the Crossfire was based upon- everyone says SLK but isn't that a bit of a broad description when trying to track down diff gears??
