From RENNtech's post on 6SPD:
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.
RENNtech CL 65 QUARTER MILE BREAKDOWN
60' - 1.626
330' - 4.412
1/8 - 6.682
MPH - 108.99
1000 - 8.629
1/4 - 10.274
MPH - 137.46
RENNtech looks to continue shattering our own records and will be further modifying the CL in search even more performance in pursuit of the first 9 second Mercedes Benz. Congratulations to Steve C., car owner and driver, on this incredible achievement.

His mama. Traded y0 mama in because she was squeaking.
In all of this quest for power, I wonder just how long lived those renntech tuned powertrians will be.
It's one thing to tune a car and run it in order to re-claim your fastest MB title, it's another thing to tune a car that will live long while holding that title.
You could easily shave 4 seconds or more off that 1/4 mile time in a CL, you know. Just don't expect it to live through too many 1/4 mile passes.

The engine and transmissions on the CL's are pretty stout. As long as his tuning is good it should run for quite a long time. If anything goes, it will most likely be the transmission or half shafts.
