Thumbs up My New CL65 with Pictures

I just passed the 1000 mile break-in for my CL65. That car is EVIL! I put it on the dyno to see how the factory numbers looked. Mercedes under-rated the horsepower. Based upon a standard powertrain loss from other mercedes vehicles on the dyno, it put out 640hp!

The only modification I have done so far is the Kleemann lowering module. I lowered the car 1.75 inches. It looks killer! Rides great: no problems.

I'll be getting the Kleemann computer upgrade soon. I'm going to take it to the track and see what it does in the quarter before I get the upgrade. Test and tune night is January 6th and 8th.

Can you tell us what the RWHP was and whether it was a dynojet?

Thanks!

Sweet ride.

I thought all the SL65's came with the F1 package, with the large front brake ducts. Is that just for 2005 cars or is it optional?
