I had the opportunity to run my '03 S600 at the track yesterday and was pretty impressed since my car is bone stock with 44K miles. I did have drag radials but could get only one run due to the crowded conditions. This car has more left on the table because I could have launched harder but this was the car's first trip to the track. Weather was 52 degrees 30.0 barometer and the track is at approx 150ft altitude (Richmond Dragway). Here is my only run(1/8mile only)
60'- 1.8215
330-5.1654
1/8-7.9658@88.60

It impressed me for a first run. I have an Eisenmann exhaust ordered and plan to send the ECM to Renntech in the future.

 

Very impressive!

Good to read that people are actually having fun with these cars.

I hope to get to the strip next summer. The RENNtech upgrade is a thought -- How much is the exhaust setup going to run?

PM me if you don't want to go public with the $ figure.

 

The exhaust is about $1800 which is much less than the E55 exhaust from the same company which runs nearly $4K(eek!). The new exhaust should help some as the S600 is whisper quiet as you know. I think that this exhaust is only the rear section and that is why it is such a bargain..hah. I opted for the "sport performance" and not "racing performance".

 

Awesome times!
