[W126 Coupe] ALEX H. Supercharged

[Alexander Hochhausl]

I did have an appointment on a Wednesday a few weeks ago - there is a
shop 10 minutes from my house. On the week-end it is insane how long you
have to wait - like going to a doctor's office. Unfortunately duty
(work) got in the way of play-time, so I have to reschedule. The numbers
should be better now that it is cold out, but yes, one day soon - and of
course I will shoot video and sound.

Alex,
 
That looks like so much fun.

Any plans for taking it to a dyno to get the performance data?
 
Not needed, of course, just fun to see how much can be achieved.
 
Thanks for hosting the video Cyberdrakon. The sound impact is visceral.
