Thats looks like the way to spend an afternoon!!!!
That GT sounds amazing! Knowing how fast the S65 is, it is pretty impressive to see the GT walk away like that.

I had seen this video a few days ago. Someone on 6sp had it posted. Can you guys tell me how you know that it was an S65? I played it a couple of times and didn't see anything specifically stating that it was a 65.
The CGT is incredibly fast, but I'm amazed at how quickly it dusted the 65.

That video was me driving the S65, so yes it was the same S65 that I ran 11.0 in at 128MPH. Also the poor passenger you can hear going wooowowoowowoo just came from china 2 days before that video was taken, and it was only his 2nd time ever to the USA. I know he went back to China and told them how crazy we all are!

Wow amazing, if your car did an 11.0 sec, I would presume from the video that the Carrera GT was a 10.5 sec car! But on dragtimes.com the Carrera GT only does 11.1@133mph. I guess that 5mph difference in trap speed really shows from a roll!

This is making me seriously think about selling my low 11 sec E55 for a Upper crust rocket sedan.

List on the ECU/TCU reflash and airbox is about $12k. Renntech quotes 685HP and 870 ft-lb at the crank, but both stock and Renntech figures for this engine seem to be conservative. The rumor is that MB purposely understates the 65 figures to make sure the SLR engine is more powerful on paper. And Renntech quotes gains from stock, so they could inherit being conservative.
Don't forget that the engine is purposely torque-limited by AMG to go easy on the tranny. Removing that limiter is trivial for the tuners and gives a huge gain to begin with. Add a bit of boost and look out. If only someone could harden the tranny, the engine could be more seriously tuned and generate 1000 ft-lbs.

Here is the Dyno graph after the Renntech Mods:
Unfortunately we could not get a spark reading, so the Torque is not included in this graph, but I would estimate it at around 800 ft/lbs at the rear wheels.
