Hello,
Stumbled across your sight luckily searching for performance mods for CLK55 with 5.4 NASP engine. It’s a 2004 model with 83k. It’s stock but peppy. Would like to go faster if I can find ways to fit the budget or lack there of. .
I am 64 years old with health issues.(Guess most of us that age fit in that category). I mention so it is understood I may have limitations on work done by myself. So, I will be open to suggestions on what paths may be the direction that I should proceed to improve my A to B performance.
My name is Gary and it is nice to say hello to the group.

69 beat me to the question so do you have excess $$$ burning a hole in your pocket and need to lower your 1/4 mile ET ?

As a much older gentleman than you that still enjoys driving fast on a track or colsed road may I suggestyou undertake some serious driver training and learn more about both you as a driver and your cars limits as I think you may be surprised to find more speed safely .

FYI I was a rally driver in the 70's and a club autocrosse champion in the 90's an advanced and defensive driving instructor for 6 years after I retired and still love driving and competing in my 80's
