All were great, but the SL65 was insane.

Thumbs up Good Lord !!!

:v :p Wow !! So all this guy has is the Renntech ECU, Airbox, that's it? Obviously he's using some kind of drag radials, right? And what kind of gas? Race gas? If so, what octane?

So can pretty much anyone out there that picks up an SL 65 get these numbers with the same upgrades?

Does Renntech's upgrades routinely bring 985 lb/ft of torque? Wow that's an insane level of torque ... just too cool ....

im pretty sure he was running pump gas... i doubt renntech would make a software for anything but pump.

They posted this up in the E55 section for some reason after the races. Awesome times.

Mother of God. Someone finally did it - I need to get back to the track with my airbox. I figured the car might run an 11.1... but a 10.8???

What ARE those rear wheels they're running?

after seeing that video I have concluded that when i get rid of the C in about 2 years, im going to skip the whole E-class phase and move directly into a used SL65...by then prices would have probably dropped a bit.
