BRABUS

What if we took the greatest tuner of all time (Brabus), a record holder for the world's fastest SUV, Sedan, and Station Wagon, and we put it up against the rest such as Renntech, Carlsson, AMG, Dinan...etc. Who do you guys prefer?

if you put em up against the rest, i would have to take the rest... only b/c renntech has sick fast cars, and amg has a great total package (and you can get it from the dealer)
carllson has some kickass wheels... so i like them...
but i dont think that any of them are greatest of the great...
it is tough to decide who i want to modify my top o the line luxo killer... ya knowwhat i mean?
but i would choose the rest, as that means that you can mix and match...

ps...
you are big on brabus, huh?
:licker:

BRABUS

I am a Brabus fan only because they hold 3 records in 3 different categories for the fastest SUV, Sedan, and Station Wagon. Renntech is sweet too. The SL7.4 is one of the best tuned cars they made. As for Carlsson, they have kick ass interiors. Take a look at the "car interiors" forum for some picks I posted of the Carlsson C RS. Overall, they are all great in their own sense but I would pick Brabus as my tuner!

cool... i gotcha... i was just afraid that you were one of those biased s.o.b.s that only knows about one thing...
i agree with you, but i want a car that is great all around, not just top speed.... andi am sure that brabus is good all around, but so are the others... ya know?

Check into www.theoldone.com, read some of their articles, and then come back to me and tell me that you honestly believe Brabus be "The Greatest Tuner of all Time."

TOO.com (aka Endyn Energy Dynamics) unquestionably gets my vote for best tuner of all time.

My second place vote, by the way, would go to John Lingenfelter.

BRABUS

JD@adf,

That site had nothing to do with Brabus. What are you getting at? Brabus is a great Mercedes tuner and their accomplishments prove that even more.

what i think he was saying is that you are only going for a merc tuner. he is looking at other tuners, all around.
and you never specified what type of tuner for what kind of car. there are better tuners out there. no offense or anything.
but you seem to only be looking the merc direction

and if you are going to base why brabus is the best on a top speed...
what about RUF?
or some other tuners that have fastass cars, lingenfelter already mentioned?
or any viper tuner? hennessey?
look at what you are going against...

you arent even considering the other tuners that have been mentioned here...
like the RUF, or hennessey, or lingenfelter...
and if you wanted a really fast suv or wagon, buy a tahoe, or a caprice wagon, and put a 700 cubic in big block in it...
that would make a fast car... faster than brabus...
you arent opening your eyes here...

Wait a tick. Do you guys think that the best tuner is the one who makes the car go the fastest? Sure I'll take speed but I want an S-class so I can have a living room on wheels not a rocket sled. Speed is great but remeber all of the other factors like, styling, performance, handling, safety and luxury ameneties. I think the best S-class is the Carlsson. I saw a thing on Speedvision with it and I love that car. It dosen't have a V12 and it works just fine for me. Also how do you class a tuner? AMG makes actual production models for Mercedes. I guess it's like a joint agreement to tune them. Then if we were doing that, my vote would go to BMW Motorsport which actually performs magic on the cars.

Are you joking man? Tahoe? Caprice? You can put a 700 cubic in both those cars but that doesn't mean they'll be the fastest. Plus on top of that, you'd want all the luxury that Brabus has to offer. All the other tuners mentioned such as Ruf or Hennessey are only focused on speed, while Brabus, Renntech, Carlsson, M-Power, etc. give you the performance and the luxury in one complete package! So when it comes down to it, you have to ask yourself which is more important, luxury, speed, or both? Then you'll open your eyes and see that the answer is clear...BRABUS!

I agree with you there. Speed is one thing, but having speed coupled with luxury is another. I also love the S-Class (new and previous generation). Nothing better than a Renntech S60 or Brabus S7.3s to give a Viper or a Porsche a good beating!

Just to clarify my position here, what I am referring to is what I think is the best engine tuner around. Endyn, to me, is the best tuner, because of the work they do in taking an already high quality engine design, and improving it to make them more powerful and efficient (think 23:1 static compression ratio). And the fact that they don't rely on conventional displacement-favoring engineering approaches to ameliorate their engines helps solidify them as the greatest tuner of all time in my book.
