  • The Evolution of My 32-Valve SEC
    The evolution of my 32-Valve SEC... For months, the SEC was parked in closed storage in Pasadena, California. I just didn't have the time nor a solid plan on what to do with the car. The original engine had long since been removed in place of a 6.0L engine built by Barry Taylor. The subsequent demise of Barry Taylor's engine, transmission, and exhaust system rendered the car eventually useless. I pulled the entire setup from my car myself and parked the car in storage. The delimma...I had several choices open to me. Here's what I had on the table: 1. Just sell/part out the car, be done with it and buy a brand new 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL55 2. Buy a brand new stock engine and transmission and reinstall it back into the car at a tune of nearly $8000 3. Buy a brand new 6.0L block from RENNtech or MKB at a cost of $15,950 for JUST the engine, another $2,000 for the transmission, plus $3500 for labor and towing = $21,450 minimum 4. Talk to AMG and get a 6.0L block from them in Germany at the tune of $10,000 5. Sit and twiddle my thumbs and keep driving my other cars.... After much thought and discussion, I decided that no matter what option I went with, I MYSELF would personally perform all the labor on my car. I didn't care what RENNtech, Brabus, or any of the other tuners had to say nor what reputation they had, after the long ordeal with my SEC, considering how cosmetically perfect as it is, NO ONE was going to be allowed to touch this car any more except me, myself, and I with my own bare hands.

    Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz Type Division of Daimler AG Founded 1881 Founder(s) Gottlieb Daimler, Karl Benz Headquarters Stuttgart, Germany Key people Dieter Zetsche, CEO Industry Automotive industry Automobiles Trucks Products Buses Engines Parent Daimler AG Website Mercedes-Benz.com Mercedes-Benz is a German manufacturer of automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks. It is currently a division of the parent company, Daimler AG (formerly DaimlerChrysler AG), after previously being owned by Daimler-Benz. Mercedes-Benz has its origins in Karl Benz's creation of the first automobile in January 1886, and by Gottlieb Daimler and engineer Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a carriage by the addition of a petrol engine the same year. The Mercedes automobile was first marketed in 1901 by Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. The first Mercedes-Benz brand name vehicles were produced in 1926, following the merger of Karl Benz's and Gottlieb Daimler's companies into the Daimler-Benz company. Mercedes-Benz has introduced many technological and safety innovations that have become common in other vehicles several years later. Quality Since its inception, Mercedes-Benz had a reputation for its quality and durability. Objective measures looking at passenger vehicles such as J.D. Power surveys demonstrated a downturn in reputation in this area in the late 1990s and early 2000s. By mid-2005, Mercedes temporarily returned to the industry average for initial quality, a measure of problems after the first 90 days of ownership, according to J.D. Power. In J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study for the first quarter of 2007, Mercedes showed dramatic improvement by climbing from 25th to 5th place, surpassing quality leader Toyota and earning several awards for its models.
