I dont mind them really, I like them if anything. The launch control and traction control makes up for any small flaws you can find in the car by far the future
Makes starting at the line a breeze every time. Heated cooled seats I could go on for ever! So much love.
We met there. You were buying a very nice sized Seriatopora I think, fishing through your cooler for your own container - not your first rodeo. So if you had to pick a short throw kit for the 5.0, which one would it be? Wanting to do my first mod...

Yea I do believe so unfortunately the nest didn't make it thru the crash I had recently. im trying picture a face in my head lol im horrible at memory game. As for short shifters ive used the steeda and the ford racing and I liked the steeda a lot better. The ford racing seemed to come out of gear ever so often, why I have no idea but it would. I will tell you what wakes the new 5.0's up is a intake, I know it sounds like a small change but my buddies 5.0 felt like a different car when he installed his.

Here's my car that I sold and had for 5 years. I'm trying to get a 2015, but they are very difficult to get.
Mercedes Benz S65
Stock, it's a V12 Bi-Turbo 603 HP and 738 lbs of torque.
I sent it to Renntech for their top upgrade. They pushed it to 700hp and 850lbs torque and I had it tweaked even more with some other adjustments. Ended up having to add another radiator and in the end I was pushing 900hp and over 1,000 lbs of torque
I put 22 inch Agetro wheels on it. Had the calipers powder coated red, lowered the car just 1/2 inch (shouldn't have done this, because it ruined the ride), had all the chrome painted flat black, had custom dyed leather wrapped screens installed with Xbox 360 and Super Nintendo and many many other interior modifications that were done by Platinum Motor Sport in LA.
Its a phenomenal car. I have a video of me doing 178 mph (it topped out at 238) and that was pretty insane. You could push this vehicle to 125mph and it felt like 65mph in a normal car.

How reliable was the V12, I have heard mixed reviews on them. That is a sweet ride! I agree on lowering, I did it to a Yukon Denali once and ruined the ride. The only thing that gets lowered now is an all out show or race car.
Once they stop making cars that still feel like old person cars... I've tried to love the V and have considered buying one a few times. I just can't love it, it still feels like a "Cadillac" in too many regards. The stupid big steering wheel, the wacky interior layout, how high you ride, the disconnected steering feel. It's a great car, but they still haven't figured out the little things the way the Germans have. The ATS is hopefully a sign of things to come, but it sadly appears that the new CTS V could be even less of an enthusiasts car. I may still end up with a CTS-V manual wagon as a second ride, but I couldn't have it as my only car.

I beat the CRAP out of this car. I took it road rally's with friends, burned through sets of tires in like 3,000 miles a set. I've owned nearly every model of Mercedes and I've never once taken any of them in for repair of any kind. I ended up with 140,000 miles on this vehicle when I sold it. Oil changes and basic service and that was it.
