My Renntech/Brabus/HRE SL55

I keep waiting for a chance to take better pics, but I'll start with these. Bought the car as is (only 10k miles and showroom) with stage V Renntech mods good for 603hp/626 lb-ft, Brabus exhaust, body, and interior mods, and black HRE wheels with P-Zero's. Holy s#*@ is this thing fast!.

My previous car was an NSX, so the handling is of course nowhere close, but that POWER and the vert are well worth the tradeoff.

fantasma,

why dont you try with the evosport long tube header mods? i am patiently waiting for right hand drive versions... you are lucky that you have a left hand drive car and their headers fit your car right away!

i am looking desperately for power increase mods for the 63 as well...

I'm sending my car off to Kleemann for the headers and ECU. You should wait a few weeks and see what comes out of my car with the mods. Get used to your car first before modding it (except for your resonator removal ). I have about 5K miles on mine right now, put some more miles on yours when you are back in HK and enjoy it stock for now (except for resonator removal ).

With shipping times and Kleemann's own development time, it'll probably be done in 2 months from now'ish.
Email Cory @ Kleemann and ask him if he can develop you right-hand drive headers while my car is there... ( cory -at- kleemannusa.com )

I don't know unfortunately, but ask him ... since they have the car I don't see why they wouldn't make a full exhaust kit as well. Let me know what he says about the full exhaust!

Nice 55! I remember spinning the tires in 2nd gear on my first test drive. It's the only car I've ever owned in which I didn't have to change the exhaust! Overall, this car will eat most cars on the road including my supercharged NSX.
