World Fastest Mercedes Record Regained By RENNtech
On April 1, 2011, RENNtech regained their long standing title of worlds fastest Mercedes Benz. Our RENNtech modified CL65, which held the long standing previous record once again reigned supreme by shattering its previous best quarter mile time with an unprecedented run of 10.27 @ 137.46 mph at Palm Beach International Raceway. This official time makes our CL 65 the fastest Mercedes on the planet.
The previous record of 10.51 @ 135.11 mph, also held by RENNtech’s CL65, was broken just last week by a C63 running 125 shot of nitrous which logged a 10.41 @ 135.27 mph run on 3/25/2011. Not one to be bested and looking to regain the title; RENNtech went back to work in search of even more from the CL 65 with further improvements and without the use of nitrous. Modifications to the CL 65 included an even more aggressive race only tune, enhanced drive line modifications such as upgraded transmission internals and a prototype torque converter and additional light weighted vehicle components. These are in addition to the already installed RENNtech modified ECU/TCU, carbon airbox, limited slip differential, high flow exhaust, drag radials, modified heat exchanger and intercooler pump.

There is a big difference about running 10's in a CL and 10's in a C class.
It's the style you do it in. 9's in a go cart mean nothing either.
Also the C class isn't anywhere close and used NOS.
You need to learn more.

that wasn't my point, I was just saying that Dad's 63 got close for way less Im sure. Most who want record breaking times have no concern for how much money it will take to get there so this says alot if he got close with way less funds. These are both mercedes vehicles so as for your remark with style, they both did that. My props go to renntech for their innovation and I believe they will hold the record again if this one is broken however their prices are like I said.....ridiculous

This is wrong.....it is the Quickest Benz, now the standing mile that TopGear did with this car is fast, this post is about quick.
On the car if you could figure out a way to get a reasonable 60' time out of it the car should be running in the high 9's. the 1/8 to 1/4 mile split times are impressive but that thing has to find a way to get out of the hole better. My guess is that the power has to ramp in gently with the tire/chassis setup the way it is. Pull the monster rear brakes off and go with a W210 rear brake setup so you can fit a 15" or 16" rear wheel. This will allow you to run a real drag tire on it.....just bring a spare drive shaft and axles
The car in my sig does the opposite of this RennTech car. I run 1.24 60' times but it lacks top end hp and has run the best of 9.75 @ 133 mph. For me a new set of heads this year will fix that
