I use to have 4 SHO's and got out of that game. Now I have 4 diesel mercedes. Problem with the SHO is that it's a great drivetrain but it's in an old Ford body. So most are rusty, seats are trashed, subframe bushings, struts, etc etc etc. And it's FWD. Let's not forget the horrible torque steer
Ya the mercedes is slow in comparison. But it has lot's of potential, much better body, RWD,they still make parts and it's a Mercedes. The SHO, however, is 5spd.... I start my 5spd swap very very soon, like maybe in a month
Does this basic list of 2.5 mods apply to my om603? I am guessing it does. I would LOVE to see/feel 200-225hp with my soon to be 5spd 300D.
PS..
After my 300sd IP timing job I can now, for the first time, power brake. Kinda neat.
