Quite the extensive mod list there, do you race it at all?
That thing is f*cking BUILT.
Damn, that is one hell of a ride man!
Hows the lag on it?
That is one hell of a badass Benz.
Man… This is absolutely the type of builds that i love ! All functional built and for me at the same beatiful ! It’s built just to be a street slayer or for roll/drag :D ?
Woah
S I C K
Too good ! If i can take you a suggestion i don’t see any type of thermal wrap on the exhaust … And for what i know thermal wrap on a so long exhaust manifold it’s almost vital, and i know they’re expensive but can be worth the cash ;) less lag and more power! Anyway have fun with your monster ! :D
HOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
