New renntech ecu. and dtm body kit

Ok I just put in a new renntech ecu in to my w210 e320 1996. and its amazing. I'm doing 0-60 in the 6 second range with no launch. I think i could crack the 5 mark if it was warmer in ny. Also i plan to eather get a e55 or a 2000 clk, does any body know where i can get a clk DTM body kit like this one for it http://eurotuner.com/eventcoverage/p..._Side_View.jpg

WOW with ONLY a 10 HP gain You claim 0-60 in the 6s?
its a 10 HP gain per renntechs site..I Think you NEED to recheck the times?

you should RENNcheck tose times. what kind of timer did you use?

i dont think that kit can be purchased. its probably custom made. SiLvaC32 did a custom kit like that on his c32 amg.

Did you give yourself a headstart?

It's great that you are happy with the ECU upgrade, but what you are feeling is not an overwhelming change in HP. 10HP is noticeable, but not mind-numbingly different. What you feel is a better throttle response, which in turn does more for your car than 10hp. That being said, I wouldn't recommend racing any 5-6 second cars for pinkslips.
