2005 Mercedes CL65
This car is amazing and really gives me a one-stop wish list link for my CL65 once I start cutting into it... The fact you're local and go to a shop right around the corner from me is awesome since I'm just starting out having bought the car in December...

Someone said that if Batman drove a Mercedes, this would be it... I'm not so sure... After all, he's just a normal human being... Perhaps Grendel or Venom would be more appropriate to handle such a supernatural beast? HAHA

Ok, that's my nerd moment of the day... LOL

I hope you can do it. Just get some ice for the intercooler system and you will be there. I think Jay Wade only had a custom exhaust, factory tuned ECU, and iced intercoolers.

Nope.. Jay had everything Kamil has MINUS the Meth setup. I'm not CERTAIN but he may have had some light weight mods too

Yes.. I almost bought his Speedriven setup, he had the Scorpions, big coolers, heat exchanger, trunk reservoir, no cats, dwn pipes, full exhaust inc custom Xpipe, and custom dyno tune for the Speedriven setup

I believe the CL600 is fairly heavy at 4400-4500 lbs? And it takes a lot more to get the smaller engine, smaller turbo 600 into the high 10's vs CL65's

Edit: Jay also ran that 10.98 in negative -148 DA on if memory serves 100 octane mix, w/lightweight Volk racing wheels.. I'm friends w/Jay & used to speak w/him on phone about how to mod these beasts.. He's a very kool kat indeed!

Good to know. I rooting for you Kamil. Get the record and then run modified turbos.

With that said, the way the 65's are dropping in price, you can one for a song and have an even faster car in the end. Decisions....decisions.
