The 7 speed auto transmission cannot handle the huge torque & hp. All the V8 AMG's & V12 Benz 's all have the 5 speed auto transmissions.

I'd say the two huge holes in the hood kind of eliminate the "sleeper look"

Awesome.
I love these kind of conversions.
Allthough with the holes in the hood, it's not much of a sleeper.

i guess it must be a show factor. he should have been able to just design another hood to clear

I think someone on E46fanatics proved that this was a PS. A very good PS.
