Every damn day of every damn week. Hoping the wife will agree to a change. Also, my mechanic tells me that they do have a bunch of stuff for it to make it go faster. All for the wife's sake, of course.

The NA 606 engine does quite well if you keep your foot down and let the engine spin up to 4500 RPM or better. It really likes to rev, reminds me of my '64 Alfa Romeo Guilia Spyder. The E300D would be a lot more fun with a manual transmission. The auto shifts way too soon for my liking but I suppose that's better for the fuel economy. The car definitely feels underpowered if you try to lug it around at 2000 RPM. Does the 722.6 electronic transmission give you more control over shift points?

Don't think so.

The MY00+ had the controllable transmission with the - and +. I believe they were the same transmissions, with a different control unit. If mine ever goes out I will be getting the updated control module. Especially handy since you can see what gear you are in on the cluster.

My BMW K-bike had that feature over twenty years ago.

Same with Brabus, just with them you have to dig a bit deeper.

Last I checked the Brabus Rocket was $250k. But it will do 220mph.


Like the old saying: "Speed is only a queston of money, how fast do you want to go?"
