grocery getter Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Actually my first attempt at a bucket list car was a gt-r which would have been great if i didnt have to trade in my spec B. I looked for a cts-v 6 speed in blue but was unable to find one...this monster just happened to show up with less then 5k on the clock. Considering that Cadillac no longer makes the V wagon after 2011 I think this was the best option for me....never thought I would get one. The merc is a perfect blend of luxury, space and monsterous power plus reasonable mpg (15/23) for me. Just goes to show you never know what will happen in life!

grocery getter Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 That's just insane for just a tune and on street tires. Although I just saw that the Renntech ECU costs $2250... What times do they run stock? Stock E63 amg's with the big turbo's run low 12's I believe.... The reflash is expensive but when you consider the power gain it makes it more reasonable....to me that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanGT Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Congrats! That's a very nice wagon. Is it 4Matic? I know the 2014 ones are 4Matic only. It was also a mild redesign. The biggest improvement is MB got rid of those pontoon rear fenders. . . I have enough drama for now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hops Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi performance german wagons are the sh!t! Just picked up a '91 Audi 200TQ 20v Avant. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breeze91 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Awesome! We don't have them here in AUS with the tt motor. I too lusted after a Gtr but the head over heart saw me buy a tt v6 audi sq5 on the same day I was supposed to pick up the Gtr. Love the German Luxo wagons though the sq5 (diesel mind you) is no match for the grunt of that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
