He has the original 14psi set up. He also has 3.15 gears.. mine has 3.64. It is for sale... so is his Cayenne Gamballa 750. Too bad that one isn't U.S. legal.

I actually don't think any of the fastest Mercs out there (modded E55's, CL65's, etc..) would hang with this M5. The fastest Merc sedan I've seen to date was a fully-modded E55 with NOS that trapped 131.

Actually, Philly, that begs the question, are you still running the factory DSC system in your car? Or did you disconnect it? Mine lights up like a christmas tree all the time, I would imagine it would drive you insane in your car.

I don't know personally, but I would be willing to bet that PhillyM5 has probably never seen full throttle in the first two gears on that beast...............

As far as the selling price of the Prince's car... you would have to email Sean at Discovery. Im sure he has that info.
