Come on guys, is this cool or what?

It is COOL!

Ferrari was going 150 mph and the SLK with the SLR engine was probably 5 car lengths ahead.

They get to 175 before the SLK starts stopping and the Enzo starts catching up.

I'd be wetting my pants at any speed above 120 mph.

An SLR engine is just a modded SL55 engine I think, Witht he money the SLK could be modded for it without the engine swap.

Your right easty it is just the 5.5 V8 engine same block as used in all the 55's SLK included just with a little more boost from the supercharger and some basic mods to things like the headers

Actually, there were a lot of modifications done. I can send you a copy of the email I have from his mechanic that did the installation. They even improved the cooling of the Turbo's better then Mercedes did in the SLR.

Post up the mods, that would be cool.

I was just saying though, that I'm sure it would have been cheeper modding the stock engine rather than buying an SLR engine and doing the swap. I guess it all depends how cheap he came by the engine.

Or whether he cares about money.

Some of Ben Sulayem's cars:

CLK-GTR (yes a real mid-engine V12 racer)
Ferrar Enzo, F50, F40
Jaguar XJ220
and anything else that most "normal" people can not buy.

As Mell Brooks would say, "It's good to be the King!" Or at least a member of his family.

This has been posted in many other car forums, as well as multiple times on mbworld.org, nonetheless it's a crazy fast car but the price is probably outrageous, probably would have been cheaper to just kleemanized it and yield the same results. If you have the money I guess why not?
