My excuses are...

- Must have happend when I was not looking
- Sabotage
- Used a little too much de-greaser
- Winter road conditions

1/4 mile ET: 10.97 sec
And that's only if Rudy and Paul are leaving the 55 AMG engine unmodded. If you add a tune, intake, pulleis, whatever else, you're looking at less.
Of course, that all assumes that you can actually get the car to stick at the launch without snapping all sorts of important parts. LOL
Damn. I really want one of these engine swaps.

heres the fastest sl55 timeslip
2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Hyevon Motors 1/4 mile Drag Racing timeslip specs 0-60 - DragTimes.com
he plenty modded but 1000 lbs heavier. isnt it .1 for evry 100 lbs? so stock v8 in the xfire should be close to this time

How difficult are these cars with the swaps to work on, compared to the 55AMG ... is there enough room to fix something that will inevitably go wrong on any car? Or will you need to pull the engine?
Great mod ... maybe one day
I'd thought that Rudy listed it previously at about $20k, but I guess not ... more pennies to save up

The S55/crossie is fast and exhilarating, yes, but so is she.
I cannot afford either.

Re: I did the ultimate mod for a crossfire (V8)
here is the latest update,,,,a lot, well most of you know i am getting a 5.5 amg v8 motor and tranny installed into my black crossfire srt6.. here are some of the details,
I contracted with Rudy and Paul of accelerated industries to do the trun key operation,( transplant)
I shipped my car to Wi in Dacember 2010
Paul had a hard time finding me the engine i want,, he found it and he will get it for me in the middle of Jam 2011
the rear (wavetrac) i am hoping is done before the car is finished so Paul and Rudy can install it.
I contacted patrick( pte), and had him build me a 180 therostat for the 5.5 v8, and he is shipping it to Rudy today
Rudy is working on the lettering for the rear deck of the car.
the intake maniflods, and the intake will be teflon coated black the valve covers will be silver.
Rudy has some peformance parts that he will install,, like pully tune, some exhaust tricks so i can use some the srt6 exhaust.
I also purchased the wheels and tires from Rudy's srt6 before he sold it.
i have two sets of drag radials to use ,,313 35 17 and or 255 50 16 will test them both the best for the ve i keep as both with the 6 got me 12.20 ET.
now we wait!
