      just joking.
      dachte immer ich bereite dich mit solchen kommentaren auf deine zukunft vor und bin überrascht dass du nach all der arbeit "erst" 150k subs hast. hoffe du nimmst sowas heute nicht mehr so ernst und hörst auf alle verbesserungswünsche dann hast du viel mehr verdient.

    For what its worth, my stock C43 was able to get to 60 in 5.6s on a dry road with proper tires. This car would clearly crush that with a manual, 600lbs less weight, and 100 more hp & torque.

I'd like to go into details but who knows if anyone is going to read this and I don't want to waste our time so I hope we'll see tech-talks or short in-depth looks on details like these in the future. speaking for myself, sometimes it was hard to keep up with all the details and info without understanding the different english accents and knowing the translations for every part on your car, so now that I can fully enjoy these videos I wish it was easier for other people from all around the globe to follow.

      NorCalAMG Media I run continental premium for all round driving. I have used nenkang before and they were ok but preferred how the conti 6 premiums felt. Before last year I had a straight through exhaust with just a back box so it was stupidly loud, over 108 DB on a metre at full throttle. When law changed last year I had to put in a centre box for noise but prior to that I had to sound deaden the whole car so added a few kg in the boot and boot lid. This actually gave me better grip/launch but killed exponent. But no one buys a v8 thinking about what mpg they’re going to get 😅😏😁
