Man I can't make up my mind. I know it would be really quick with the auto, but this is 99% a street car and I love shifting gears.

Please re-read my comments on this page. I was wrong. MSD isn't the root of the problem, I am.

Yeah, saw that but people still say MSD is crap now. The people I know with it haven't had any major problems that I know of. Like I said, I'm still going to use it. I was just wondering what the MSD haters are using instead of MSD.

Congrats on getting things figured out. Time to have fun!

Congrats! Sounds badass! Glad you figured it out. And I too lol'd watching that video.

What's your car like now from a dead dig or slow roll?

Edit: a lot like this isn't it

Auto, auto, auto. You can still shift it! Leave the clutch pedal in on a spring if it makes you feel manly!

The car is home. I need to cut open the oil filter, if that's any guesses on how the drive went.

None of the above that I can tell. Didn't have time to grab a datalog. Pesky Mercedes...

I'd imagine poor construction methods would be this best culprit at this point.
