RennTechV12, I think you have the perfect car...then again, you have like 5 supercars. Must suck having to choose which car to drive though, Lol. It'd take me a good 10 minutes just standing in the garage looking at the cars before I'd be able to think about leaving. Awesome vid...but just wondering, how'd your car beat an SL65 Renntech? Did he have less Renntech mods than yours or did you just get a better launch than he did?

He actually had a quicker ET than me; 11.40 vs. 11.56, but I had a quicker reaction time.

Question for you... So you have all those cars.. You have fast mercedes, you have luxury mercedes... So I don't get why wouldn't you get the fastest mercedes possible which will be the slr mclaren, and mod that *****, instead of modding relatively slow sl65 or sl600 in the first place? And please don't tell me you don't have enough dough to afford it, or to upgrade it, cause I know you do

look at the torque and power curves between the Supercharged V8 and TTV12. The TTV12 has much more potential for increases than the already higher-strung SLR engine. for over half the cost, you can have a car that you can mod that will be faster than an SLR - i haven't seen too many mods for the SLR (besides the 40 or so HP bump from kleemann)

Agreed! You hit it right on the head. That's why I went for the 600 over the 65...less filling / tastes great!

Nonon guyz, that is just excuses... YOu saying that you need to take c230 and make it better than slr, I dont think so. A Moreover it is hard to get Slr handling in to the mod car. Slr got far more potential for upgrade.. It is best to start with the best and upgrade it

RennTechV12
I mean don't you want to create the ultimate MB? You have enough dough bro, your fleet cost at least very close to a mill, plus all those insurances, and maintenance charges... So common pal get your $ together get a new slr mod it, and we will have something going 2.5 or less 0 to 60 And then we will do massive BMW blowout, film it show it on BMW and MB forums.. Hopefully it will be the end to BMW era...

I kid you not, sl65 goes o to 60 in 4.2 sec stock, while as slr goes o to 60 in 3.8 stock. It will be reasonable to start upgrading faster car, than slower one..

I know that. But "relatively slow". But look at his SL600's 0-60 times now after modding. Modding an SLR would cost way too much.

I know, but in general, it is just a waste of money modding an SLR, imo.
