CLK63 Black is it maxed out??

Upon arrival I heard that Benx had gotten every last bit of power out ofthe motor and what the tranny could handle.

I am getting older and slowing down, driving a 4 door but still have the 65 in the garage. Thinking about grabbing one to just run around and have a little sunday fun in but I cant fdrive anything that doesnt run in the 3's.

Has anyone modded one and gotten any substantial gain, not just a loud exhaust I mean a car that moves?

thanks in advance.

not trying to be obnoxious its just like anything else, after driving 100 mile per hour boats 45 is boring.

the things that are available do they make significant different difference like half a second or more like .2? i have seen way too many people waste so much money making their boat or car make more noise and feel faster cause they know they changed something the dyne and the stop watch ended up saying its faster, a fraction, 10 or 20 k for a fraction.is silly

any info appreciated, i always loved the black but if i am going to be bored with it in five mins and after mods same its not worth wasting the time

They are not maxed out from factory. Long tubes and tune would knock of a half a second I would say, conditions same at least.. Or if money is no object, Weistec supercharger will make it crazy.

Jcart is running 10second 1/4 mi's and trapping well over 130mph.

IMO traction is the biggest problem with these cars in terms of going fast, but it's also what makes it fun. Unfortunately I have no advice as far as modding. jrcart can help you there.

No heated seats that I know of... the only available option was the iPod integration kit. They all have command navigation and I believe HK sound if that's what you're referring to.

You didn't happen to call about mine did you? I had a voicemail a couple of weeks ago that I couldn't make out the number. There are a couple of others for sale in the CLK black series forum as well.

If you're interested in mine msg me your number on here or email jeff.brandt@neotek-industries.com and I'll give you a call tonight.

Lots of information available...try using the search key or go to the clk black series sub-thread. These engines are now putting out 1,000 HP so I wouldn't say they are max'd from the factory at 500.
