SL600
In the second video, 0-100 took you 10 seconds? With all the mods and everything?

I did 15 runs on Friday. My lowest time was 165. Heat soak did take a toll. Not sure which vids I posted. Stock sl55 will do 164 in the mile, so u would expect an extra 170 hp would push the car to 180 but ????
Anyway, the car did not feel as fast as I expected. Back to the drawing board.

You should have a qualified technician thoroughly examine your SL600. Your numbers-- dyno including-- are shockingly low for how much you have got done. Didnt want to bring this up, but theRicker dynod at 501whp on a dynojet (check my youtube link in my sig for video) with just a removed exhaust and air filters... there is definitely something wrong with your car. My opinion of course.
