Treynor runs a 11.69 @ 118 or so.

Don't forget, your car has two less doors. I didn't know you didn't have the ECU. How much gain did the exhaust system give you?

Ok. My exhaust + Cat back, according to whom installed it, and from MKB, IF my vehicle stock is infact pushing out 493, I should be as high as 540, but I doubted that so I tell people about 520. But now, with what you told me, Im at a loss for words to describe how confused I am, I believe I need to dyno the SL600, and probably will do it sooner or later. Wow... Im so confused.

I have an MKB SL600 Stage -1, and Im pushing out at least 520. ITs actually not even stage 1... so you might want to show up to thist meet, and race a real tuned E55-- Vic55 has, ironically, an Evosport E55 and pushes out somewhere near 600HP from what I've heard, should be a good match up. Anyways, thats pretty lame for the "Stage 4".
500rwhp with drivetrain loss is approx. 609 engine horsepower. RWHP is the horsepower measured at the rear wheels aka the actual horsepower that is getting to the ground, not what the engine itself makes. No car manufacturers post rwhp they post engine HP. Above you can see an estimate of engine hp based on rwhp.

your car will dyno below 500rwhp due to drive train loss. Your 493, although underrated is at the engine. Technically if mercedes gave 100% accurate horsepower ratings your car when stock should have about 430whp, but in all actuality it will have more. With your exhaust I would imagine that you have about 450whp.

Eh, he doesn't really care. He still thinks his car is faster.

I am probably selling the KB very soon anyway and going with a twin turbo setup. I want more power! :v

I love Cobras.

If I go out and buy one, will you love "a Cobra filled with Vomit?"
