C6 Z06's have run high 10s in the 1/4 mile, e.g. http://www.dragtimes.com/Chevrolet-C...lip-14084.html. No SL600 Renntech has yet posted a time as fast as that.

However it's a lot trickier to launch a Z06 cleanly so in any given head-to-head race an SL600 could possibly outrun a C6 Z06.

FWIW....

My Opinion without any personal racing experience against one, is that the vette would win, high HP, and very low weight especially against a VERY HEAVY V12 Benz.

wow!!!! don't know what to say at this point. SL600 is a beast too .hard to tell , if you roasted one i believe you 100% , witch makes ur 600 one fukkkking crazy fast SL

I have an 08 Z06 and it ran 11 flat 129.06 at Maryland Dragway so its fast not sure how it compares to AMG.

Were you the blue Z06 at the November meet-up with all the Benzes? If so, I got a good look at your taillights!

[Salty63]

Yes that was me how are you??

Ideal conditions with a good driver, the C6 Z06. Most real life encounters, the SL600 RennTech.

I think you answered your own questions. Based on the HP and weight ratio the Z06 would take it in the 1/4 mile. But, I'd much rather have an SL600 (especially with Renntech mods) over a vette. I've owned a C5 and presently have an SL500. Other than the speed differential (which day-to-day in the US doesn't matter anyway), the Mercedes SL isa much better car.

Is there anyway to know if my 2004 SL600 has any ECU upgrades? I bought it just over a year ago with about 40k miles.

I have played with a few Z06s and never had a problem pulling away from them at spotlights or on the freeway. Sometimes it is close, but I never see their rear end.

I've videotaped my 0-60 and it is right at 4.0-4.1 seconds without traction on. I thought this was normal until I started to read this thread.

Is there any thing I can look at to see if the ECU has been modified?

What is your top speed ? try to see if it would pass the speed limiter witch i believe is set to 155MPH on your SL

"Honest officer I was just checking to see if my speed limiter was still in place."

I have seen the 160s very briefly before so I guess that means ECU has been modified.

Its my first MB, so I have nothing to compare it to. The power is just amazing to me, but up until now I thought it was normal for SL600s.

Thanks for the tip !

I agree. I've been a corvette owner for some time now...love the cars and what they can do with very little money in mods. I've owned a modded C5 with just over 400rwhp and a 07 Z06. There is no doubt in my mind that the Z06 is faster. Before I sold the vettes and decided to go for a wife friendly car....sl500....I raced a friends SL65 and that was close. He won...but not by much. Launching the Z06 takes a bit of skill but if you are moving and relative speeds...the Z06 is relentless all the way up to 190+mph. I'm not familiar to modified SL cars but they are animals. Either way, I prefer the SL as a car over the brutal grunt of the vette.
