Hello all....

I hope you enjoy my writeup. This is my 3rd V12TT car, having started with a 2003 S600 and then a 2005 CL65. I love these motors!

Great writeup...580rwhp, 700rwtq. 707hp 853ft-lbs STOCK using 18% drivetrain loss, These V12s surely are understated in their power department. Renntech got a 563rwhp and 695ft-lbs baseline so that seems to be the range for baseline figures. They added Dual IC Pumps and their ECU Tune which made 630rwhp and 765rwtq. A LSD as well was put on to help get the power on the pavement.
