You should have named it the exorcist(for the trans am ) and the 944 "Moby d*ck" grin

This was back in early 2000 so we need to compare to those AMG of that era.

I won some races and lost some. When I run open headers people don’t even make eye contact at stoplights and when lights turn green usually just jeheli wait for me to carry my wahala go grin

My Porsche 944 on the other hand is the ultimate sleeper. Managed to embarrass a few 911s before they figure out what was happening. Had a guy follow me around for about 30 minutes in a 911 slantnose so we can drag again and he can flog me like a wayward child cheesy

"Weight" will make the E class from that era to lose (agreed that trans am from that era were not featherweights) but I'm very sure it will be hard for a stock amg from that era having a chance ,taink you cool

Coworker had a C45, traction was an issue for him grin

I would still like to build a lightweight car around a big block Chevy 454 crate engine.

There is an engine builder that advertises them and claims they can handle 27psi of boost - yummmmyyy

I love annoying purists too.

I bought an engineless 1967 Mercedes 250s that I was going to do a swap on.

Couple of guys from a Mercedes forum can to rescue it from me before I could starting cutting. I did relocate the battery to the trunk though.

I've been featured in many British magazines over the years and I don't even live in the UK grin

But once I'm retired and settled in I want to put Nigeria on the automotive map. Just like Cuba, Mexico, etc with their creations.



I'll see if I can find the magazine article for this one.
