Datalog the car and see what's wrong. It's the only way you will really find out what's going on. Could be anything. Surprised Marcin did not catch that.

V12-Biturbo
My MAN!! I always wondered what ur handle meant..
Athena's my 2nd Dane, I had a wild speedster Brindle named Atlas for nearly 10yrs.. Best dog I ever had pleasure to care for & spend time with I looked it up 1 day, Danes can routinely hit 30-35mph I love taking em to the beach they get a runway type enviornment to test top end traps and perfect the 60'

I had no idea Marcos car had modified turbos and so much work I can see it now. The HP and TQ numbers are to the wheels not crank correct? Looks like it will be a long journey for me but I think I'm not that far away with an improved 60ft and also a few more MPH should have a very close run to the 10s mark.
I will be heading back out to the track this coming weekend if car is ready to go, if not I will def be going next week sometime. We will see how the numbers turn out then.

Its nice to see a recent surge of V12TT upgrades, some are proven and some are new, but the on going talk and effort are baby steps of progress. Despite the dog you have, the approach you take, or the tuner you choose, in the end these cars are still surprising many and putting a smile on so many faces even if they are on a 10 yr old platform. I hope to free up some time and make some contributions of my own. Nice job moving forward Kamil, especially with a wedding right around the corner.

I appreciate the kind words and all your input and help in this thread. I'm one of those guys that does no give up easy on goals I set for myself, its always better to shoot for the sky than set them low. Just like anything in life speed bumps are something we cannot get around It was my first time running the CL at the track and with all these mods its kid of hard to jump behind the wheel and run a 10sec pass. More work needs to be done a few more passes getting my 60 down and see how we look from there. My wedding is on June 14th so I got exactly 1 month with a tight schedule to run the car and hopefully get what Ive been going after. My fiance is supporting me 100% and Speedriven is staying behind me to make this happen. I cant wait for next time at the track and good or bad I will post results so members can have info and I may be able to get more info on what could be fixed to go faster.
Thanks Again
Kamil

Your car looks stunning. The black on black just looks right on the CL.
I hope you get your issues sorted out and your future upgrades go smoothly. Thanks for sharing all the updates.

Thanks, just a little speed bump we will get this sorted out soon and back to the track we go
No problem updates will keep coming, along with the new billet turbos going in in June. Goal is to hit our 10 sec run before billets go on and run car after billets to see how much more it got from those.

This weekend I attended the Wisconsin Dells Automotion which happens every year. This is a great event where cars from all over midwest gather and the little town is taken over by all makes and models of modified cars. Very cool event, and I will be coming next year again. Maybe this time we can get a few members to come out. I entered BATTLE OF THE IMPORTS car show hosted there with over 100 cars in the show. I'm happy and proud to say I took Best Of Show Here is a trophy for the MB Guys I brought back home

I spent a lot of time that morning waxing that thing A lot of people had no idea what kind of Benz it was and when I told it was not even an AMG they could not believe it. I guess the AMG package along with those Brakes comes in handy
They liked all the little details I did
The Hood Badge blacked out but still with pattern, the blacked out headlight guts, the Carbon Fiber Mirrors with the new style signals, they loved the wheels and stance of the car, but overall drooled over the engine bay setup this is why I will do something crazy with it and also focus on the interior. That is as soon as I get the car running right of course
