SL600
^^ And that was on 22s!

I hate Mercedes for having these problems. Both my E55 and SL55 had the same problems, I can't believe my 600 is possibly also suffering...

I DON'T COME HERE ANYMORE
You'll see heat soak from top mount IC on turbo cars (Mazdaspeeds, Scoobaroos, ect)-not from FMIC-it can raise uner hood temps, but at those speeds-it was pushed out pretty quick-heat soak happens most often when staging at the strip after a run or two-
those E AMG's are looking better and better to me everyday-nice work!

They run very consistant when pump is functioning properly, even better w/CM30 IC pump (old fact pump is krap) Trunk reservoir tank is even better

I would like to see Lady_AMG and BenzoBoi line up! That should be fun! They both stomped my 600, I think Lady_AMG more so... the E63 should do quite well against the E55 if not beat it. I think she beat me worse, but the video is there for all to judge.

And yeah... I thought I'd be faster too.
the Sl's are a few hundred pounds heavier than the E series cars. That, and the fact you had your top down didn't help matters either. Drag is killer.

Yes those 22"s made the CL600 loose a few lengths @ begining of race but the huge torque & HP propels it Multi-lengths ahead when everything is working right, mirrored my top-end experiences w/E63's

new 2008 CL600 curb weight is 4894 lbs SL600's average is 4429lbs if you remove Spare whl/tire/tools/roadside inflator machine, down to about 4329 lbs (other SL models inc SL55's don't come w/this spare tire/whl roadside kit)
