Default What do you guys think about this?

2003+ Mercedes sl500 with an LSX w/kenny bell blower and a 6speed? Looking to start a new project and was thinking about a 996 Porsche/LSX build but being a long time Mercedes fan and owner I think the SL with an LSX drive train would be killer!!! I had a 2005 sl55 a few years back and boy did i wish it was six speed. Plus adding the "black series wide body kit"(for those that are not familiar Google sl65 black series) would make a sexy *** car with a drive train that is not just reliable but is able to get 25mph highway. Never mind the 700-800hp LOL

Anyone done a conversion like this to a newer Mercedes? CL, clk or even an S class? I understand i will most likely need to get rid of their ABC air ride system and switch out to coil overs as the suspension computer is tied to the engine computer and adjust air with in each shock based on acceleration, braking and handling.

I'm sure in some states you can but here in the bay area it's a good down payment. Lol
