Don't do it. I thought about getting that instead of the Raptor. Too expensive and hate my wife's C class.

What I would like to do is get a more fun street car in addition to the raptor, like a cts v or a c6 z06. Something to make reasonably quick. The c63 amg was what I had originally ordered instead of the raptor, but I didn't want to wait for it to come in, but ended up waiting on my raptor anyway. Don't get me wrong, the raptor is a great truck, but it's lacking in a few areas for me, especially as my only means of transportation outside of uber and taxis.

That's what I tried, but all I could afford was a Beetle convertible. And you saw how much crap I got for that one.... :crazy:

If you're going to get an AMG Merc sedan, get the E63. I had once and loved it. In fact I got rid of it for the Raptor. The C63 is a much smaller/sportier car. It rides rougher, feels cheaper inside, and isn't what I would choose for a DD. But that NA V8 is an awesome motor. The V8TT in any of the newer E63's is amazing, the car is just better all around and holy hell when you chip it…My car made 585whp and 620ft/lbs to the wheels, just a tune….

I HAD to supercharge my C7 because I couldn't justify having my sedan be faster than my sports car.

After 5 hours of RallyX Driving at the RallyReady RallyX Class in Austin. I decided to see what my Supercharged Raptor could do on the course. It only took about 2 minutes to decide that my raptor can be driven just as insane as any RallyX car. It was wild, on the edge of insanity and it beat every time that day on the track!!!!

Took off the stock bumper/hitch and spare tire...cleaned up the wiring for 4-Rigde SR flush lights, 2 amber, 2 floods to install my new SVC rear bumper tomorrow.

Taking off all that weight really allowed the rear end to raise up a lot!

Wired my voltmeter. It lights up a bit yellowish. I need to replace the lamp bulb with an led

Bought WLED-WHP5 Cool White from superbrightleds.com. Let's see how that works out.

Edit: good news is that a led bulb works great. Bad news is that it works too great. How does one buy a led bulb that's not too bright?
