Thanks, you look like you have had a bit more than re-mapping.
What have you had done, I wouldn't mind buying the kit from the States and have them fitted in the UK. I know a few tuning companies who could do
the work.

I am also thinking of doing a tune on my S600, but I might rethink because of my recent stealership experience, I would not want to give them any extra reason to void my warranty.
I got a price from Andy @ MHP of 6k for an ecu/tcu tune on my S600. I think I am going to hold off until after MIR and I get a chance to talk to others that have had thier cars tuned by the varrious vendors.

Both the 55 and the 600tt engines are great to tune, and handle the extra power very well.
My SL55 has ~40K miles and we have run countless different programs, and she has been flawless...... and fast!

The trouble is your car looks better than a S65, so you definately need
the extra power to go with the looks.
Mine is nice looking but doesn't look threatening, not sure where this could end!!!!
