(i own 98GST FWD)I was on my way home from work and as i was walking to my car i saw a CLK 2door Compressor parked in the lot with a girl in it. She was staring at me and had a smirk on her face. So as i was warming up my car she rolled right by my car with her boyfriend now in her car.(they were trying to show off but i was not impressed.) Anyways i was driving for about 5minutes on the feader road when i saw some car speeding to catch up. It was them again so this time they were laughing as they sped ahead then slowed back down right next to me. They did this about 3times when i got fed up and said to my self let them do it again. So they did and when they tried to take off i downshifted. About 10 car lenths later(after devastated them) i slowdown right next to them and stare at them which they wouldnt look at me no more. It was great but at a cost. When i was wupping their asses i heard a pop from under my hood. i had an idea that it was the T-25 turbo that had blown. The next day i checked it out and sure enought thats what it was. It blew at 17psi in around 90 degrees weather at night. It blew one of the gaskets on the turbo leaking all of the oil which is supposed to go to the turbo into my exhaust system. I knew it was going to blow but not this soon. Now i'm waiting for my Big 16g turbo and fuel pump to come in. I've been driving my fiancees base Mustang for the past week and a half until this Tuesday coming up when i once again will be reunited with my car. Hey i still beat them damn cocky kids.

What's the deal with that Kompressor motor. What are the specs? Are they pretty quick?

i dont think they are quick at all but the fact that i kicked their butts after they were laughing at my car was the real deal.

2.3ltr supercharged i4, 185hp, 200ft-lbs of torque, and only comes with a automatic 5-speed tranny. hardly worth the $40-50,000 price tag. the slk 230 roadster is very nice looking though, is this the one you raced?

It think that is the one it might have been. It was 2 door small sports car it said compressor with the C in compressor not the one with the K. Looks nice but not quick at all. I didnt know it was supercharged.
