CL600 with an interesting modification
Just picked up my dream car:
Mercedes Benz 2005 CL600 11k miles black/charcoal fully loaded Its not in my hands yet but should be on a truck by mon or tues of next week. The car has an interesting history, I was under the impression that the car was modified by RENNtech as it was advertised to have had an upgraded ECU/TCU, per the people that modified the vehicle they sent it to (insert name I cant remember but will dig it up) since they dont normally do german cars, this person supposedly builds cars for manufacturers and other corporations for SEMA. The ECU/TCU were shipped to Germany to AMG/Mercedes Benz Racing Division to be tuned, if the ECU is plugged into Mercedes Benz Star Diagnosis it will say that its a CL600/AMG ?!?!? Its definitely making more power than stock 492 RWHP & 572 RWTQ this was the most recent dyno but I also have another dyno from last year on a Mustang dyno that states a weather corrected 517 RWHP and 708 RWTQ, this seems to be a big discrepancy in torque numbers. Once it comes in I will schedule my own dyno and have my tech pull up the ECU so we can confirm the above.

Make sure your headrest is at the correct height!
It would be awful to see your head snap off and fall into the back seat!

lol Mike Iam a little suspect about that fisrt dyno, or maybe it was superheated on the last dyno but until I get it here and dyno it myself I will go with the lower figures, but I for damn sure hope its really able to put that much to the ground. I wonder who has the cheapest Eisenmann race exhaust and how much it with change the numbers?
