a bin of heat shields?

A car?

IDK but it looks exhausting

That looks like a torque tube at the top of the lower photograph.

The world’s most technologically advanced Meyers Manx?

I know it’s one of a couple things but I’m going to maintain the mystery!
![]() 06/14/2019 at 10:30 |

Sure is.

mmm, torque tubes . (said in my best Homer voice).

Some careful thought could whittle it down

Your name is Mercedes-esque but my M5 has the same type of heat shielding... I’m only able to place these parts as coming from Deutschland.
![]() 06/14/2019 at 10:35 |

So close!

Replacing an O2 sensor on any given German car?

I don't work on THAT German brand! *Raises nose into the air haughtily and walks away*

Way off
![]() 06/14/2019 at 10:37 |

Not a GT

But can you name the horse?
![]() 06/14/2019 at 10:39 |

I’m not sure, but does that muffler also serve as a bumper? A mum pler? A buffler? A muffalump?
![]() 06/14/2019 at 10:41 |
|
Ha! Muffalump! No but it does sit right inside of it.

SLS?

Beat me to it. I think you’ve got it

Winner! Your prize is a ride in said SLS! Congratulations!!!
*Fine print* but you must collect your prize between the hours 12:30pm and 12:31pm today. Your prize can only be collected from me. No replacement prizes to be given out of you miss your window or I'm not around to give you your prize.

CLS?
![]() 06/14/2019 at 10:48 |
|
Wacko won. It's an SLS.
![]() 06/14/2019 at 10:48 |
|
So if I’m looking at this right ... it’s an NA V8 Mercedes with a transaxle ... and it’s not an AMG GT.
Unless it’s an SLS AMG, I’m out of ideas.
edit: okay maybe there’s a turbo under that heat shield, the only MB engines I’ve actually looked at closely are the M104 and the M297 ...
![]() 06/14/2019 at 10:48 |
|
You got it. A minute too late. But you got it.
![]() 06/14/2019 at 10:52 |
|
Damn I could have sworn the SLS AMG transaxle brace looked different than that ...
![]() 06/14/2019 at 10:55 |
|
Maybe you're thinking the horizontal part of it. Which is buried in the pile here. The vertical part is main one that's easy to see in the photos. But in the car the vertical part is very difficult to see.

Gotta zoo m in!
![]() 06/14/2019 at 11:00 |

Rear mounted transaxle gave it away. How many MBs have that feature? Less than 3, I’m sure.
![]() 06/14/2019 at 11:06 |
|
2. SLS and GT. There are enough differences here that a careful eye could figure it out just from photos.
![]() 06/14/2019 at 11:08 |
|
Yep, should have seen that.

My tax dollars are hard at work on one as well:
![]() 06/14/2019 at 11:26 |

I think yours is a little faster but probably doesn't handle as well.

Is the prize a disassembled sls?

The Ferari Mustang duh XD
Maybe a Jag?

the To rque Tube was the giveaway
![]() 06/14/2019 at 11:49 |

Yep- complete with AMG on it- don’t think that’s going in a plebian E class.
![]() 06/14/2019 at 11:59 |

But I thought you worked at a Mercedes shop, not a Cadillac dealer.
...I’ll show myself out.

I can’t compete with the white-hot ferocity of 100,000 burning suns.

I’m guessing diving deep into the owners wallet was also an acceptable answer
