Cool Video of Bennyz's RENNtech C55

The other night Bennyz and I went out for a spin in his C55 that is modded out with basically every goodie RENNtech has to offer. The sound of this engine is so sick. This thing can really haul some ***. Its definitely not something to under estimate. Anyway, here are some video clips of the evening.

This is a clip vs. 996 911 Carrera S which got the jump on us at the light I hit the record button late so the very first second or two of this is missing.

This next clip is us following it after the race and needless to say it really didn't want to play anymore.

This last clip is just a quick launch of the car from a stop.

I know none of this stuff looks that great, but we will do some better looking stuff in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

The deep rumbling sound from the C55 is sweet. How many horsepower is Benny's car putting out again?

Awesome car, it sounds great! However, it would be a lot nicer if he lost the ricer a-pilar gauges

His last dyno was 408 rwhp / 424 torque. He's probably going to be doing another dyno in a few weeks.

Don't have a Mercedes right now...
What was that little hiccup after the second gear? Did the ESP kick in?

What are you talking about the car or the super charger? The car stock weights between 3500 and 3600 lbs.

Awsome ride and one quick car. A couple of questions though.

Did you ever race any other Supercharged C55's?

What is your 1/4 mile time. Faster or slower then DragonAMG's time. Thanks.

Yes, ESP was on. But even with ESP off with all the torque there is still wheel spin between 1st and 2nd gear upshifts

I have not raced any other S/C C55s! the only one I knew off was Josh but he got rid of the car before we could race the cars (i think the buyer was in chicago so that is not going to happen)

I am going to take the car to the track next month. Not sure what times I will get - with the NOS on I am putting close to 440rwhp so I expect to be in the high 11's and the trap speed should be very high (117 - 120)

I will keep everyone posted for sure. I LOVE driving this thing

Thanks Benny and good luck at the track. Just wondering, You are going to use slicks or DOT tires right with that much power.
