I think you may have the wrong video posted...all I see is a montrous ford GT TT..
Title states CL65, which I am sure you were referring to steve's car (SGC).

SGC

Thanks Jody.

nice. why dosn't mine sound likr that?

SGC

It can.

It is the sound of the turbos spooling without being muffled by the stock airboxes.

The stock airbox is incredibly restrictive.

thanks. my car is off to the fabricators for a new cold air kit

SGC

Great. You'll find a fair amount of power there.

All the best.

So the Renntech airbox alone makes the turbos sound like that? Interesting....

Congrats on a great run....that's faster than a lot of so called "sports cars"...

Here is a new video of two runs made by SGC.

SGC

Thanks.

The reason you can hear the turbos more prominently on my CL is because I am running a prototype Renntech ram air system that is very different than the currently available Renntech airboxes. It is my understanding that Renntech is finalizing R&D on this item and may make it available for sale in the near future.

SGC

Thanks for the video.

how about a list of what the other cars did? i'd like to see how the 65 stacks up

SGC

I am hoping the event organizer posts a list soon.

Compared to other streetable cars that are not severly modified, the CL stacks up well.

Going from memory, modded GTRs with stock turbos run in the mid to high 170s to give you a benchmark.

Stock 2009-2010 ZR1s - about the same ball park - mid to high 170s.

There was, I believe, a Prototech 700 hp (flywheel hp) 996 Turbo that ran a best of 177-178 from what I recall.

Modded Ford GTs with pulley and tune running mid 180s.

Twin Turbo Gallardo Spyder went high 190s.

And few Twin Turbo Ford GTs well over 200. In fact, one nearly went 270 (Heffner).

Congrats SCG on the amazing mph. Enjoy that badass TT 12 in good health. Can't wait to see this badboy going 200+ mph. Im sure you'll be there soon. Goodluck.

How did the Renntech C63 do?

SGC

Thanks. Trying to represent the Benz brethern.

Bad coil halted the day.

That's really impressive. To be so fast and so close to stock. Really cool stuff.
