real engineering and performance seems to be a universal language among the heads.

Where at in South NJ? You went to Mercedes-Benz of Cherry Hill?

Damn, I wish I had known. I'd have loved to see your Q. So a tech at the dealership knows Q's too? Nice.

VERY nice machine.

Congrats on impressing the AMG specialist!

How does your Q compare to your SEC?

[lino]

Glad that your car is riding the way you like it. What was cauing the shimmy? Did you get a printout?

S63 is definitely a beast. Does it make you want to transplant that powerplant to your C126?

How does your Q compare to your SEC?

the sec is a pleasure to drive stock suspension xcept for H&R springs and billstein HP shocks. takes bumps well handles great and great powerplant.i still have some fine tuning to do ( find vacuume leak , or the jetronic fuel mix) going to a benz guru next week to finish my workThe way my Q is set up its just an all out beast, i step on the gas tires start spinning , mean *** exhaust notes, takes bumps hard ,

similar ib some ways though and sure if my Q was stock suspension would be more similar.

even w/ the h&r and hp billsteins the sec suspension is too soft 4me, for some urathane spring spacers from summitt gonna install.James

did not get the printout, but all my wheels were off , no flat spots or bubbles. just a poor *** balance.

S63 518 hp naturally aspirated bad ***

There are a couple of W126 coupes w/ supercharger and alot of guys swap the motor from 1992SL's there have been a couple of 12cylinder swaps as well.
