Lol, wealth? I guess i should call it debt then? So i guess you have become the immature one, making wise cracks about a respectable community service/career? I am not a fire fighter, just happen to know a guy working that shift that allowed me to pull my car in for a nice picture, thanks for noticing.

If you want to talk about your slk, make a seperate post. Dont try to involve it in a debate that it obviously has nothing to do with. Thats the only point i was trying to make with my original post, so sorry it offended you.

How about neither, the cost of the car was never mentioned...What does wealth have to do with the conversation anyway??? Why did YOU even bring it up??? (Irony)

What part of lighten up didn't you grasp? It was a JOKE.

You were trying to flaunt your possesions. You, me, and everyone that has read this thread could have seen it.

You think a little modded SLK is big stuff? Christ it's my wifes car! I wasn't trying to flaunt anything, I'm just a bit beyond that. We all aren't your age.

BTW: Are you trying to flaunt your "possesions" with your list of mods?

You aren't busting anyones *****. You are showing your age and intellect which may rival a barnyard chicken on a good day.

And that's quite evident. I believe when you first mentioned the car, you referred to it as "my" slk. Forgotten whose it is? They do say that the memory is the first thing to go when you become a senior citizen...

You aren't busting anyones *****. You are showing your age and intellect which may rival a barnyard chicken on a good day.

And speaking of farm animals, I could make reference to quite a few jackasses in this thread.

Actually, he said "no you don't." Now while "no" means it is impossible based on the listed conditions, the power was not the only listed condition.

The conditions were basically stock twins, all bolt ons, and YOU having done it. He was saying that it was impossible for YOU to do it, not that it was actually impossible.

You probably should have taken it more personally.

So you just switched around the possession of the car in this thread to try and demean him a little more. Yeah, that's real mature. And maybe when you grow up, which doesn't seem to be anytime soon since you haven't done it in the past 40 years, you'll realize that snobby little comments like "oh, you mean THAT mercedes, oh that's nothing, it's just my wife's" make you look ridiculously conceited.

As far as my screen name goes, maybe you should take a look at my avatar as that's the name of the bird. Good try though. It's sad to see that money can only buy you possessions and not a little bit of couth instead.

Children! Children! can't we all just get along??? i mean really why must we fight? we are all brothers pursuing a greater good....absolute hp out of a rotary engine. if some one says "I've made 360-400 HP on stock twins" why don't you ask how and where he did his tuning instead of bickering like a bunch of elementary school kids. i mean really. am i the only sensible person in this thread?? and no i don't want to start a fight. i am just trying to bring a little civility here! and besides i WISH i could say i had an slk with 500+ hp even if it was my wifes. now you two kiss and make up!!

Nobody "switched" possession of any cars. Can you not read our cars don't "belong" to one person or the other - they are all "ours". We are MARRIED. Hello Mcfly? Stating fact that married couples share property (this is why its termed "communal property") is now somehow "demeaning" to somone is hilarious! Oh nooooo......I better not "drive" our SLK in public, I might "offend" someone that thinks it's my "wife's" car. Cars are sheetmetal, glass, rubber, & plastic, yet you seem absolutely infatuated with this crap? Cars are a little hobby. Kid, GET A LIFE.

You were proven wrong about horsepower on stock twins & got your azz handed to you. You then tried switching topics when proven wrong. It didn't work then and it ain't working now. You should quit worrying about other people's cars & focus on your own issues - you obviously have a HUGE chip on your shoulder.

There are these little things in the English language called possessive modifiers, "your" "his" "hers" "mine". When he mentioned your car, which had no relevance in the thread at all btw, you suddenly mentioned. "You think a little modded SLK is big stuff? Christ it's my wife's car!" as if that somehow makes his original comment less important. You following now? Should I go buy you a speak and spell?

Yeah, I'm obviously the one who has the problem considering the original statement that kicked this off wasn't even directed at you.

(Streetport and all the bolt ons.) The car was not on a dynojet either but a MUSTANG dyno which reads lower than a dynojet. (5-10% lower than a dynojet)

The dyno will be posted shortly.


Steve Kahn also tuned another engine last year with a streetported engine I build, same port all the bolt-ons with stock twins, the car made 374 rwhp.
Funny "hot California day" His dyno sheet says it was 65F. Kinda chilly in my opinion. Still excellent power. I hope to get there myself with 99 twins if I can drag my *** up to Gotham and write them a blank check!

Do us all a favour, quit worrying about other people's possessions & go play with your bird. You two can converse on how driving a Mercedes makes someone "conceited".

Lmao, that's the best you've got, you don't agree with my quoting? Give me a break.

Whether you just choose to ignore logic or you just can't quite understand it, you look pretty stupid doing either one. That being the case, I'm not going to try to school you any further as that's obviously pointless. I suggest selling one of your, there's one of those tricky modifiers again, cars and using the money to hire a private tutor. It'd seem pretty silly if a 40 year old ordered Hooked On Phonics.

Do us all a favour, quit worrying about other people's possessions & go play with your bird. You two can converse on how driving a Mercedes makes someone "conceited".
Oh I'm not worried about your possessions, now I'm worried about the state of our educational system. You don't know your animals, you can barely read or write, and you can't even reason out basic logic. Maybe it's a learning disorder? Do yourself a favor and go get some Ritalin too.
