Nice video of a '93 600SL doing a run from 0-200kph. Evidence that power-braking makes quite a difference.

Some early footage from a German promo video of the R129 eating up a few corners.

The M104 is rather responsive to intake tuning. I would start with a Gruppe M setup, followed by an ECU tune (Powerchips has great customer satisfaction), and a sprint booster for added throttle response.

Yeah bro, 100%.

Forget the Turbonator, as it is merely snake oil that can cause more harm than good if it breaks and goes into the manifold. I am not sure of the SLR brand chip, as I have never heard of the company before. Powerchip has positive reviews and their chip is pretty much plug and play.

Powerchip:
http://www.powerchipgroup.com/index.asp

Gruppe M Intake:
https://www.gruppem.co.jp/onlinestor...products_id=74

(Not sure about the site; use PayPal if you can!)

Sprint Booster:
http://www.bmw-mania.com/web/Item/spr1012/invDetail.cfm

(Note: It says that the product is for 2000+ Mercedes Benz's. I would call them to verify if they have an application for the R129.)

Just a disclaimer, I have not purchased from these sites before, and am just listing links to more details regarding each product. Use caution and PayPal with each consideration.

M3 Vs SL600 video on the first thread.. Not to be a ball buster.., The SL600 driver is driving with one hand on the steering wheel and one hand sticking out of the window.. It is very dangerous.. in case something happened, he cannot control the SL600.. you are putting yourself in danger and everybody else around you.. please let us me more concern about safety of others.. don't follow their example.. .. just my two cents..

Hi Cmdr Barook sir! Caesar here of MBCP. Yeah, I agree with you. Not a cool way to be driving an SL600. Safety first, always. Regards, Cmdr Barook!
