RENNTech CL65 AMG Burns Blacktop at Dusk



This RENNtech-tuned Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG is so powerful, it ran a quarter mile in 10.62 seconds at 133.7 mph. But we're not here to watch it skip across the track.

Is today throw back Thursday? This is more than a few years old now. No, it's not my car, I think I could beat the time of this pass with good weather and a little massaging, but I don't think I'll come close to the MPH.

This was a secret one off build that was never replicated, all that was involved still remains a mystery. It went on to run a 10.2x picking up another 3-4 mph. That's when a lot of speculation began.

What should their tune provide, what others are doing over years and years on this OLD platform?

I don't really plan to add a nitrous kit. I just meant that it would be cheaper to add nitrous than get a tune from Renntech. I should be in the 10.6's next time out with my current mods. Not sure if I'll get below a .62 though.
