Thanks for the pics. Is this your car? Are the wheels a custom set or were they an MB version?

Thanks

Nate

Nate, the wheels are BRABUS_MONOBLOCK_V, and are available. Here's the link to my Gallery. They are by far my favorite for the coupe, but I don't think they look nice on the roadster.

Wouldn't be much thunder since it's pretty much a bored out 5.5L MBZ V8. Would actually be pretty quiet in comparison to American V8's.

IDK, but I want some 1/4 mile numbers on that thing. 426hp stock?? That's where most of us are now with all of our mods. That's a pretty rare car you got there sir

Yes, and I was disappointed. But I think they look great on the coupe.

Gerhard,

Thank you very much for posting the pictures. Your pictures confirm much of my own independent research such as the use of the V6 engine mounts, my CL500 oil pan is correct and will work, C43/CLK55/CLK500 exhaust manifolds and the clutched C43 fan and shroud. I can't tell if they changed the transmission or the rearend, but it looks like the rear dif has probably been changed to at least a limited slip. Do you know the guy at Brabus/Startech that built it? I heard he is no longer working for Brabus. I would really like to ask him a few questions!

Here are some links to factory specs and infos:
www.startech.de/Flyer_CHRYSLER_Crossfire.pdf (german language only)
http://www.supercars.net/cars/3048.html

As far as i know is the the car one of a kind. So i don't think it will never be optimized, or see a race track.
But let Daun answer for himself.

Btw: We don't have any offical drag race places in germany. This sport is not as common as in the US.

Best regards from germany
