You realize you are in Eurocharged territory, why not set up for a dyno tune and TCU. You'd be surpised the gains on 600s are more than 50rwhp. You will need drag radials to get decent traction, I've learned street tires become a waste of time. With a tune and tires you should see mid-lower 11's with 120-123 mph. The sl600 record car is close to breaking into 10's with only ecu/tcu and drag radials. The guy's not even a good driver!!!!(benz-o-rama) Actually its in his blood, he's very good and alot of help as well. Good luck!!!

OP, if I recall, my best time on street tires (all season) was an 11.2x I think. It's very hard to launch a tuned V12TT on streets. Pointless, really..
Get a set of DRs....it makes you a better driver than you really are.
