I would love to get a hold of that sleeper :p

Excellent job Ben Treynor!!!

I wonder if you could get a video drag racing from inside your RENNTech S600... That would be sweet to see.

The brakes of the newest S600 will not be cleared by 17in wheels. Mercedes has stated that the reason they had to use 18s as standard on their V12s was because the brakes got too huge.

For those of us that are ignorant to the ABC plug, would you care to explain? please :o

It's a two-wire black connector that connects to the ABC pump, and is easily accessible on the CL600, at least. If you pull it the ABC system will not operate, but you can plug it back in at your convenience.

That is all very good, but what is the ABC System? What does it do?

Active Body Control, in our SL my dad loves taking hairpin turns at killer speeds, that results in a HELLUVA LOT body roll when the ABC is off, ABC on? No body roll, period.

Active Body Control (ABC) ABC, a true active suspension system, utilizes a coil spring and an electronically controlled hydraulic cylinder in series, plus a separate gas-pressurized shock absorber at each wheel. Using a total system pressure of up to 2,900 psi, ABC continually adjusts each wheel's suspension to counteract vibration, pitch, dive, squat and roll. ABC also provides automatic 4-wheel level control, driver-selectable ride height and automatic lowering at higher speeds. Driver-selectable Sport mode virtually eliminates body roll for even flatter cornering and sharper handling response.
