I'm up for the dyno in a couple of weeks. That should be interesting...

However, the RWHP is one thing, and crank another.
So does anybody here know how many percent loss the drive train cost..?
I've heard 18% before, and even 20%. But some claim as low as 14%..!

Of course, it varies between different cars, depending on tranny and so on, but I'm interested to see if anyone knows the loss on a SL600...
And is there about the same loss on a SL55..?

Thankful for any thoughts and opinions!

Hi! Yeah it's been a while...

This actually is my third SL600 since the summer. And they were all obsidian black.
But the first one had alpakagrey interior, and out here on display. That's the one "R230-Nicke" has got now. He lives in Sthlm.
The second one had black int. But that one I kept original, and sold it like that.
And this third one is a Carlsson (so they've done some things to it...) and from 2005 (the bigger navi). And this one has got this hooker-red (berry red I think it's called) interior, along with some black. I wasn't sure what to think of it to beginn with... But now, I think I can live with it...

The things I've changed on this one is the rims (from 19" to 20").
Illuminated door sills (blue).
Painted front grill in (obsidian black).
Deck-lid lip.

How's your 600 treating you..?

4x4 assume 20-23%...
