I really like this build. It hits all the right notes— brand-correct and totally over the top.

It’s neat, but the wheels are too dang big.

Agreed. Fortunately, I wouldn’t have to look at them from behind the wheel.

I didn’t watch the whole video, but it seems to me that the oversized wheels would affect the turn angle. I heard him say he adjusted the softness in the front. I assume he meant the spring rate, but it could have been the shocks damping or rebound he adjusted. Maybe he put air shocks on it. Who knows.

Yeah, it’s a little “off” on those points. I’m giving him credit for getting a very complex Benz PCM/drivetrain control to work right, then adding paddle shifters and getting that to work right. Then somehow getting it all to pass a stringent safety and emissions regime? That all took work.
The chassis/suspension needs work (wonder about brakes?) and the wheels have to go...

No doubt that he’s a talented fellow. It’s just his taste that’s in question.
