There was no racing. There was no weaving in and out. Each car did a fly-by and that was pretty much it.. Once one of them approached traffic ahead they slowed down. If you notice when the Z06 was accelerating the E55 was cruising, and vice-versa.

Thanks!! The wagon came out AWESOME!!

551rwhp, 560rwtq. He is having a blast.. he emailed me last night telling me how crazy fast the car was.. in his words "the car goes sideways very easily now and I have to relearn how to drive it".. lol.. It's the ultimate sleeper... A stock looking wagon packing 650hp under the hood..

He will be doing some videos soon so I'll have more up on youtube in the near future.

Nice & perfect aggressive sound IMO. VRP is the true tuner of Benz world. Go over to Mbworld & u guys will know what they did with Powerchip to overcome the tuning challenges previously. Let the fun begin...
