i already mentioned this in general gassing, but nobody responded and there is no chrysler section, but anybody heard about the chrysler/mercedes concept supercar?? the ME412. well its a quadturbo v-12 mercedes motor,chrysler went to mercedes for the motor but they didnt have one with the power to weight ratio chrysler wanted so mercedes built a new motor, with 850hp 850tq 7speed manual tranny. chrysler wanted an engine that weighed about 500lbs with 800 hp. mercedes responded to this with a 550lbs motor making 850 hp!!! the car,if it goes into production, will be out in '06 for a "low" price of $450,000 american dollars the car looks very nice. according to chrysler, the car will reach i think it was 240mph!! well thats all for now
