Do you think that 10K is really worth it for the brake kit? And just saying but 12.6 is BS for a Murci's 1/4mile time... If you know how to shift right and know the throttle of the car you w/o ESP you can run a 12.2.

RENNTtech C55
I just finished the work on my C55. there is not much left to do (i'm sure I can find a few other mods) here is what I have done:
Renntech Supercharger
Renntech 19" Wheels
Adjustable H & R Coils
Exhaust
NOS (75 shot -could increase additional 50 of needed)
Needless to say the car is fast. The NOS is not even needed to beat 99% of the cars on the street.
I raced a brand new viper and won with the NOS turned off. I keep the NOS for special occasions :-)
I'll be the first to tell you that the investment is worht every dollar when that twin turbo pulls up besides you... poor guy has no idea...
Either way you should do this.
The only reason I recommand Renntech is that i have a great deal of confidence in their service. I have an ongoing problem with the airbox not sitting properly due to the supercharger, and they are in the process of making a new part specificly for my car.
(and all other C55) (part will be ready nect week, I'll keep you posted)
Also you have to be careful with the psi on the Kleenman unit ( ibelive they quote 9 psi) The Renntech unit is running at 6 psi, and i think that is a pretty safe place to be.
I can't post any times as of right now, I've only had all of this done within the last couple of weeks, but I can tell you that this is the fastest car I've ever owned, and I've had my share of fast toys..s. M3'S, Porsches, etc...
Keep me posted, I'll post pictures up next week.

To put the 55S8 in the same league as the DB9 and 612 would be an insult—to which one
very expensive Klee mod but I love that article , thanks
( at least C55 resale value will go up because of more mod options )

With a supercharger on a C55, I honestly can't even imagine needing NOS. You're a sicko! lol
