I have always thought of why nobody messes around with those old mercs with v12s, I've always wondered how they would sound with a good exhaust system and mabye boosted
On MotorTrends Hot Rod Garage they put a single turbo 2JZ in an SL500 and said that the motor mounts were in the same position as the original benz engine. They even used oem mercedes engine mounts and only had to grind off an alignment pin then then the 2JZ just bolted in
I can still remember seeing one of these driving down the street 15+ years ago when I was just a teenager walking home from school. Growing up in Australia I was fairly used to Holden/Ford/Chev v8s but I just remember this thing with some aftermarket pipes sounded phenomenal and quite different to anything I'd heard before. Kind of weird I can't even remember what I ate for breakfast half the time but I remember in vivid detail seeing certain cars driving down the street decades ago haha.
ANOTHA ONE hoonigan you guys seriously are the best RUclips channel on this platform thank you so much for the content you put out for us to enjoy and thank you for sharing with us what you get to enjoy and love thank you guys ❤️
I've always loved the old boxy Mercs and thought they could be cool builds after they'd depreciated to an amount that would allow people to just do "fuck it" mods too. This guy is awesome.
@@BrennanMcKissick Well I don't know your local market and I don't mean to be *that* guy but I bought my R129 500 over half a decade ago and prices were already going sort of crazy.
I met Ryan today at my work.He bought a bunch of JIC fittings wich was not cheap.I was just thinking to myself.I could only imagine whats he is going to make with them.He pulled up in a S200😎👌
3 am squad checking in. These guys are inspirational to jump out of the norm. You dont need to buy a 240 or do a jz swap to party. This shows with a little thoughtful engineeringness you can thrash anything. Not knocking jz or s chassis's cause there a proven platform that work. Just nice to see some different type of cookies.
That dash setup is so retro and yet so badass. Y'all can keep your fancy color lcd data screen, gimme some of that late 80s early 90s green backlit calculator steez.
Like number 269 lol it's comical because that's my home area code 😂😂 these whips are sick affffff it's always incredibly intriguing to see people bring something that should be in the game but hasn't been established yet. Clearly there are reasons for it cuz Benz ain't cheap to fix by no means buuuttt you know a man is gonna dream lol. Great footage you guys, keep it up!
German engineering with a Italian designer not surprised with a little tweeking what these cars of capable of they are curb weight heavy for a little car but for show it's a beautiful site👀👍
My friend just bought an sl 55 bi turbo (why they dont call it twin only Mercedes can tell you) the sound is unlike anything ive ever heard from a v8. This sounds much the same. Super distinct exhaust notes. But the power and torque was unlike anything ive ever experienced. It had twice the wheel horse as this and likely torque. Still, im not sure why more people dont do this? oh wait yes i do. He said it. To expensive to replace parts hahaahah seems these fellas found the affordable and excess able way. This is a mad build. Maybe more suited to track than drift tho lol
I own the same car. I’m hitting these guys up immediately. Never seen a company build the old SL I thought I was the only one out here!!!
Your name made me laugh thanks for that

Eduardo Nava bruh picked up a 5sp e34 530i 3l v8 bmw Cut the muffler off the thing sounds like a bmw gt car

Midnight squad, shout out to the editors of these videos you guys are amazing
Brady always got the sleeper Kicks. Everytime they say "what are those?" He responds "The future!"
I will stay loyal to the midnight crew!
Best benz from the 90s, this thing is sick please show us more euro cars with usdm/jdm touches ❤️

They may be the best car channel, but Bad Lip Reading is certainly the best RUclips channel...

Well unfortunately the opposite is true, R129s aren't depreciating anymore, they're going up in value
@@1240Dax 4 years after my original comment, yes. Quite a bit has changed.

How have you never heard Mercedes sound like that lol. Those v8s have always had a great sound
That was rhe best sl500 demonstration that ive ever seen .Gave me some great ideas for mine
That electronic dash looks so sick
Those Xcessive guys have REALLY gotta come with more of these whips. They got good taste
I enjoyed the build breakdown with Brad, it has a good ring to it actually. He's getting better with more time in front of the camera.

Just when I thought my sleep schedule would normalize, hoonigan bonus goes and becomes the midnight crew.
Bad Daddy Braddy reminds me of the "After drugs..." image on one of those old D.A.R.E. posters.

Midnight uploads are still the best uploads
man that thing has such a good look to it
The old blue heron paper mill that place used to stink up all of OC, cant believe my bois were right under my nose and I didnt know it
I’ve never seen Donut Hill until now, and it is beautiful.
"Omg are we still in Oregon??" Fuckin Brad is baked
the one thing this channel has proven, especially lately, is with some imagination, time, and money, every car has a drift car hiding inside
That was a nice build
brad is the closest thing to australian that america has to offer! and we love every bit of it :D
lol rip headphone users when he revs it, man that sounds so nice
Old habbits never die, saved this til midnight. MIDNIGHT SQUUUUAD!
I love the sound of a nice Euro V8
Sweeeeeeet. The sl looks so good doing donuts as if it was build forr drifting so flat so sweeeet
That wood shifter and those gauges tho. Classy as fuck!
I bet Nads owns a set of those flip-flops too LOL
That is possibly the best sounding 300 ish horsepower I've heard in a while😂😂😂
3:02--Brad: "And your future pants...." looking at his shorts hahaha
Dude I might get one today and this sounds awesome XD
Owner seems like a quiet inverted guy But after those donuts look at that smile......
One of my top dream cars.
That thing sounds great!
Mercedes v8 always sound mint with a custom exhaust
Most luxury vehicles weren't meant to be loud and ugly lol
"So you gonna fire it up and let us here this thing rip?"
"Bet."
Long live the midnight squad!
dude that cluster is fire
That car sounds so mean..love the classic styling of it 2
That's my dream car, as it is, I need one in my life.
