1-2 punch question

Any SL65 enthusiast owners out here run the hand held RennTech plug in tuner and a pedal commander combo?

I think with some good sticky tears like Cup 2Rs or R888’s would just accentuate nicely the cars performance design intentions.

Cheers

My SL600 is Renntech tuned and I use pedal commander. PC totally transforms the car.
Yes, I need drag radials but the Michelin 4S tires hook surprisingly well

thank you. This confirms for me my plan. I had another friend at cars and coffee who has a 2006 SL600 with a Renntech hand held tuner and PC and told me he wished he would have just done the PC and took the other money for the Renntech cooling system. He said bar none in terms of street enjoyment the PC was the best move
and he also is on Michelin PS4S.

I am going to go pedal commander and Renntech cooling system and some sticky tires and enjoy. If I feel like I need more for roll pulls, then the Renntech hand held will get added. Thanks again MojaveYZ
