All throttle, no bottle... better?


Congrats again Jason! It was one helluva great day. We'll hit the track again soon (I'm thinking a rental at the beginning of May ). Still workin on getting the video onto a computer. Friggin old tech stuff sucks! Your mission should you choose to accept is to break into the 10's. Mine is to break 11.5. This message will self detruct in...

Relative to semantics you are correct if that makes you feel better, I think that Vic new what I meant when I made that comment, as well as most of the educated MBWorld community, but thanks for your attempt at clearing it up for me Although never in the 10's and not i the league if the Bi-turbos, the SL73 and the Pagani Zonda are nothing to overlook in terms of NA performance.

Question: You're the 1st person I've ever heard of getting actual after market tuning by AMG? How'd you manage that? and is it less/more/equal to the likes of Renntech? Kleemann? Brabus? in terms of aggressiveness, HP/Torque levels etc...

I was lucky enough to purchase the car like this, as far as I know I am the only one with this type of mod in the states and it cannot be replicated unfortunately. I do not know if my car makes more or less but the renntech cars have the most dyno data and I seem to be right in the pack if not a bit on the high side as most renntech dyno data posted is not on pump gas, mine is on pump gas with the AC on. I will redyno soon on racegas. I do not know my RWTQ yet but i expect in to put down in excess of 700 RWTQ

Daayum lucky dog! Yes from what I've read, Renn has intimate knowledge/past AMG engineer working for them, they probably are very close indeed hp/torque.

So this must mean you are covered warranty wise no matter what goes out? Too cool! Enjoy that beast! I know I would!!

Correction: low 11's. And thanks on the compliment. I am installing the front Brembo BBK and KW v.2's tomorrow and will finally post pics of the 55.

TheRicker- No, I ran 11.7 AGAIN (over 30 degrees warmer this time though)! This time bouncing off the rev limiter from 2nd to 3rd My goal is to break 11.5 I will post vid of Jasons runs, my runs, and a few other peoples runs once I figure how to get video off a camcorder/tape onto my computer.

that remains to be seen as it was not a dealer installed MBUSA part, best is to keep things silent at the dealership as if my car was stock.
