I like the first run tests on the car and it looks like a baby S63 but that might be a detractor for some. Its appearance is almost tame compared to the rear bulges of the M3 and front scoops. I love the M177 engine and have no doubt a tune will be ready early on (not a resistor one either) meaning that car could be boasting close to 580-590 crank hp and 600 lb/ft of crank tq. The MCT appears to have had an electronic facelift because my excessive experience with this tranny is that it shifts slower and the paddle to action shift points are delayed. But CH says its much better and I have heard this on the Benz boards too. The 19 inch Turbo S look a like polished wheels are attractive too especially in contrast to a darker paint color.

Nice post and good car-- I wonder if its great??
