Selling My Sl65
 

HELLO GUYS

It has been a long time since i have been on this board.. even though i do still own my RED SL65 KEEMAN

3 months ago i have purchased a FORD GT and i must say i enjoy it a lot,
it is very fun to drive and the mods are very inexpensive

i am putting down 671 RWHP and 640 RWTQ the car is a beast...

needless to say i am selling my SL65... it has 7000 miles
and all the mods one can put on by kleeman....

what is the current going rate for an 05 SL65 with 7k and HRE wheels??

roughly.....???


thanks


i would make it a great deal for anyone interested....

Let me know how much you are willing to pat with it for..

Do you have a dyno graph of the 671 RWHP? That's the highest I have seen for a -65 car.

sorry traynor for the missunderstanding

my ford gt is currently putting down that.. my sl is 576 and 721tq at wheel

since that post i have increased that to 723 rwhp and 713 rwtq on the ford gt



thanks

joe

How did you get that power up so high? The car comes blown from the factory...did you increase the boost and upgrade the pulleys?

HLG

Seriously!? That's enough to make me think of picking one up myself...

What mods do you have on the Ford?

well i all started when....

i picked up a ford gt new in september.. 05 for 156k

dyno stock was 525hp and 496tq at wheel
then i remapped the computer and got 545 and 510
then i bought a 400 $ pulley to get to 632rwhp and 596rwtq
then i bought racing exhaust and MAFia remap and went to 671 and 640
then i bought some race gas 100 octane and got a smaller pulley to pump 20 psi and nuw i find myself at 720 and 720 roughly

all this for approx 3500 $

not counting labor

the car weight is approx 3000 LBS

and at this rate the 1/4 mile time should be (IF DRIVEN WELL in the high 9/s or low 10's

i will be at track next weekend..

my next stop is the new whipple supercharger 3.3 liter that should bgive me approx another 100 hp at wheel

dont forget the nitrous option is also there if you need it.. for cheap

i love at this stage racing various HYABUSA's OR GSXR1000's

or any supra out there .. my sl 65 has a lot of power but it is really heavy and i sunk 30 k into it to get (SOME) extra hp...


FOR GT IS REALLY FRIENDLY TO DRIVE AND VERY CONNECTED TO THE RACE OR TO THE GROUND FOR THAT FEEL.. MY SL65 MERCEDES REALLY NEVER WAS



if you want to see some videos of ford gt racing then go to

fordgtforum.com or to this link for 1 video underhttp://www.torquenstein.net/movies/imv/Joes_GT.wmv

JOE

in the video all the vehicles are pumping 500 + rwhp and some are spraying 150 shot there is even a cobra there pushing 700 rwhp (with spray)

sorry here is the second video where there are actual street races and also why i put the previous post..

enjoy :zoom: :zoom: :zoom:

woow! your car is insane man!!! props on it :y

The SL65 is probably worth $140K

Ford GT Rocket
 

You have really got a rocket with the GT are there traction issues in each gear? I know that the mid edgine give you a great advantage. Just curious and looks like you are having a blast.

Would love to see the pics of the SL

Sheesh - the ford GT just made it onto my shopping list. Those videos were insane -- a near-stock car with 700 RWHP. Yow.

I'm not selling my SL65, however :D

Joe,

Sorry to see you are selling that beautiful red SL.... :(

love the video(s)!

my god, man! do you have to wear a jockstrap just to depress the accelerator? flooring that thing must rip your balls off!!! :zoom:

yeah it is pretty strong

this weekend i get another 100 rwhp by putting on a bigger supercharge or like mercedes would call it.. grosse Kompressor


thanks


joe

I just checked KenneBell's web site, and they didn't list a supercharger upgrade yet - just a pulley+snout upgrade (itself good for quite a bit of power!). Whose S/C package are you using?

Does anyone really believe him? Those are most likely figures he saw on other forums.


I like to be in Missouri a lot.............It is the SHOW ME state.


I'll believe it when i see it. :rolleyes:

whipple is the supercharger 3.3 liter is the model for the gt on their web site

to the merc655 guy!!!

thanks

Response to show me.
 

That a boy Joe nothing like standing up to a challenge. If you don't want to come and run. Then don't talk.

It is great that you have the time money and ability to make your GT a rocket.

I have a question regarding your SL65. Did you get the lowering module? If so was there a dramatic difference in the handling after it was installed. The SL55 does not feel that heavy in the backroads of Northern California due to the ABC traction control I am suprised that the 65 felt sluggish or unconnected to you. Granted it is a lot heavier but I thought that by lowering the car you reduced quite a bit of roll thus increasing feel and understeer characteristics.

Can't wait to hear the RWPH results after the whipple. Do you know anyone that has installed on and have the tested it at the track? Be careful more power more breakage.. :zoom:

no i think i am going to be the first one out there with the whipple

regarding the unconnected nature of my 65 .. what i mean is that the steering is not very direct and the computer control/ delay in flooring the car and the simple feel of bumps on the road are a lot more prevalent in my GT


yes i did put the lowering module but the handling to me was very close to stock...

thanks

joe
