You need Mickey Thompson E/T Street Radials. Here's what I did with them in an SL600 with tuning and exhaust:

anything new lately

the new sl65 bs apparently does it in 11 flat. not bad for stock equipment, but then again it goes for 300k

it was either road&track or car&driver. the new ones for this month. i read both of them this weekend. and the article on the sl65 bs notes 11 seconds. the information was not tabulated, however, so the figure could have been rounded down via casual writing. it was the euro spec BS btw.

jrcart, i know you have the mickey t's when you go to the track. but how do you launch the car so well to get the low 60ft. times. so you think thats all b/c of the tires

thanks for the response jr. i should be getting mine in the next couple days and i cant wait.
another question i had was, do you have clearance issues with your splitter and the car being lowered? |
There was a White (possibly silver) Evosport CLK Black Series driving down Ocean ave in Santa Monica a few months back, was that this vehicle?
I also saw a Evosport CLK BSs in Beverly hills that looked a bit different? |

Evosport has done 4-5 Black Series (maybe more), mine was the first one, but it would have been more than a few months ago that you saw mine, they finished my car and I picked it up back in Late February 2008. I think mine is the only one with all the goodies, some guys opted for the aero package but no roll bar or no Dymags and vise versa. There are several version out there and they all look good.
The retail sticker on the stock CLK BS is around $135k if i remember correctly but some can be had for $80k $90k right now from what i have seen How much does the full EvoSport treatment go for that you had done and how long was the turn around time? |
Heh, i didn't realize that amg left the rear AC vents in the CLK BS even though they removed the rear seats . . .

I spent about $40,000 on the original Evosport mods including the Dymag wheels and a new set of wider tires. I have since dumped a lot more money into it on new light weight seats and a crank pulley that they can also hook you up with, those two things will add an additional $9000 to the above mentioned $40,000. I would suggest contacting Brad or Simon at Evosport to get exact price quotes, I'm sure they have adjusted some of their prices over the past year, as you know the cost of everything has gone up it seems. Who knows, they might even be running specials or a sale and you might get it for less:nix: As for the lead-time, again I would contact them about 4 months to do mine, but keep in mind they had to fabricate everything for my car since it was the first one.
I am not in a position to buy a BS just yet but i am looking into getting a 04/05 SL55 near the beginning of the year that i might want to have upgraded and from what i have seen renntech and evosport have the best kit in that area |
Just a question on the headers.
Will they fit right hand drive vehicles? If not will they be available uncoated so they can be easily modified to fit? |

Nice to meet you too. To bad the back half of the track was not hooking up, my car was running well but a few close encounters with the wall made it a bit more exciting than I really needed. That track is almost dangerous, however the tech guys where the coolest tech guys on the planet, they told me they don't care if I run 9's LOL!
