$40-50k seems to be the top end of what these cars will fetch, based on the prices I've collected so far in this registry. I suppose a mint widebody 6.0 coupe with all the options and AMG Germany...

Thanks, at the moment I'll probably end up using Russell's LSD once he takes it out of his car. We're both making similar power from the same car and engine so it should be a good fit.

Which models had the M104 engine and 722.6 transmission? I thought they all had the weaker 722.5. It sounds like a built transmission costs around $5k from Southern Hotrod, does that sound right?

My custom front bar was a one-off and only cost AU$345. I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a shop that would make you one for US$300.
