Its a merc CLS, done by Brabus. If its the super fancy pants on its the Brabus rocket. Which is the fastest 4 door in the world clocked at 365kmh or something, its speed limited to 350kmh tho... Its got the amg twin turbo v12, but stroked out, and a few other things. I can not express how much I want one of these cars. Then you can go in to the interior and the options brabus put in.

the little lights on top are a little homo.... like seeing a massive roid muncher with the deminished.... well yeah, you know what i mean...

take the lights off the top and integrate em somewhere else. cant be very good for aerodynamics at 225mph?

The front of the CLS is....OK.

What I'd like to know is how the Australian motoring press, who panned the AU Falcon for being hideously ugly and droop (it was) washes the taste of 3 pointed shit from their mouths after the felching they give the CLS about how good it looks....considering the cars look almost the same from the back.

Thanks for mentioning felching while I'm checking the forum over breakfast. God I love SAU.

Not a bad looking wagon that Brabus. Not the flashest looking thing on the road though.

Wonder what the top speed would be without the roof lights. They add about 20% to the frontal area and would have to bump the Cd well over 0.4, from a starting point of probably 0.3.

That's a rough drag increase of at least 60%, probably more.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
