Dyno comparison: SL65 Black vs CL65

I had my SL65 Black dyno'd today. 580 rwhp/744 ft lbs, SAE corrected. Bone stock, 1600 miles on the odometer.

My CL65, pre and post tune, is on the chart for reference. With an ECU tune, the CL makes the same torque as the stock Black series...

While peak numbers appear to be similar, the power that the SL65 makes throughout the entire RPM range compared to the CL65 shows indeed how much stronger the SL is compared overall!

PS Dyno numbers are just that..................numbers! Take them to the track or Mexico and watch the SL TROUNCE the CL!

Regardless....BAD A$$ cars!
