Went to the track with my 06 SL65. All stock with a drag radials. Wow was I surprised.

11.27@123.5
1.70 60'

Have one question. When I launched it the roll bar popped up automatically and won't go down now ???

OrlandoForumsSL

to get the roll bar down, hold down the up button for a few seconds and then when you press the down one it'll go back down

Nice quarter mile time...enjoy. I wonder what my SL65 Kleemann would do on the track?

camdon

Credit for the 1.70 second 60' time goes to you. Nice launch!

Credit for the 11.27 seconds @ 123.5 mph goes to the car. That's incredibly fast for an SL65. The fastest stock SL65 on Dragtimes is Schiznick's 11.69 @ 117.8. (http://www.dragtimes.com/Mercedes-Be...ag-Racing.html) Your run is waaay faster than that.

Is there any chance your car already has a modded ECU?

Thanks

Nope,all stock. Conditions were perfect. 62 degrees,no humidity.

Put it in dyno mode and launced it. Got a 1.69 60 foot also and ran a drop slower. I think because I hot lapped that pass.

Thinking of a Kleeman ECU upgrade or a 50 shot of gas. Gotta go 10's now.

camdon

Any ways to lighten this pig up ? Are there any front spare tires that will fit it ?

How do you put the SL65 in DYNO MODE??

Thanks

Renntech SL65s and this VRP-tuned CL65 have run high 10s: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...whp-912tq.html

Urnext pulled the front passenger seat on his SL55 record setting run. That saved him something like 75 lbs. He also removed everything that was loose, e.g. the owners manual, etc.

Evosport makes lightweight rotors. Not sure if they have them sized for your calipers but if they do, that will save you about 8 lbs per corner of unsprung mass.

OUTCAST

Very nice run!

TimsSL65

Hi 10's...wow!

Thanks

Tim

camdon

Thanks guys

I believe with an ECU upgrade,100 octane and a few pounds shed,I can get a 10.99 out of it.

You are definitely knocking on the door!

Let me put in a plug for the March 1 private track rental at Maryland International: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...-3-1-09-a.html

I attended the November rental and it was a blast. Great guys and a really fast track. I'm thinking seriously of going back for the March event even though it's a bit of a hike for me. (1,000 miles round trip)

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if your car also cuts 10s under reasonable conditions.

There are also a handful of guys out your way who do private events from time to time. The current discussion thread is here: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...-part-2-a.html

I'm sure they'd be glad to have you join in.

I am 100% in for MIR. I used to run my TT Viper there. Great track. Is there a thread about that rental ?

TimsSL65

Thanks for the info (on the thread)!

Tim

TT Viper must have been quick!

Blackbenz is organizing it. His PM link is here: https://mbworld.org/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=7484

Thanks

I'm in

Wow....that is a really strong run!! I hope to see you crack into the 10's at MIR!

Tom

camdon

Thanks

Hopefully it will get into the 10's this Sunday

Good luck!!!

The ECU is on the way to Kleeman

Forum member Mthis just posted a suggestion to meet-up at Atco this Friday. Thread here: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...-3-6-09-a.html

Can someone please answer this, I might be a SL65 owner by the end of the week, and I do not have this facility in my SL55.
