Reading about the new SL63 and the new SL65 ( I thought they were ditching)
the V12 but obviously not. They quoted times 0 to 125. The SL63 done it
in 12.9 and the SL65 11.8. So I thought I would have some fun and checked mine. After 3 goes I managed 12.57 , now a lot of you will poo,poo it. But
there is no reason for me to lie, remember mine is re mapped with a K&N
and high octane fuel, and well run in now. Even if I was a second out then
13.57 is still very good.

I'm 0-126 in 11.02sec. See sig...

WOW that's even faster than the new SL65, what a machine you have.

It takes me 11.8 seconds to get to 123mph not quite 125, but a whole lot faster than the 63

I realise my 63 is the slowest but c'mon it's only under a second. we all have
very fast cars that's for sure. I wonder what the GTR's time would be 0-125.
Be interesting.

Stock GTR does the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds. So it should be at 125mph a few ticks afterwards.

I hear ya. Just busting chops a little. The 63 still has the best exhaust note hands down IMHO

My hope is to break into the 8's after the R1kx build is done with an ET of 165mph+...Switzer will post some videos once they do some shakedown runs.

^ holly crap, that's a freaking rocket ship. It must be a blast to take down the track.

AMGfan

We'll see...the previous R1kx build for another GTR owner was @ 9.03 @ 162.98mph (with sub optimal conditions - see below) but my build is another generation build with a little bit of Switzer skunk works added.

Previous R1Kx shakedown runs...


I sent up a different rear wing setup (Yoshi duckbill CF trunk/spoiler) and CCW 18's on M&H dragmaster tires for the shakedown runs. I'll get Switzer to post the runs when my shakedown 1/4 runs are done...probably next month.

It'll be exciting to see what happens.

11.0x vs 12.5x at that speed is bus lengths. Multiple.

I had a chance to do a pull against an SL63 last week from 40mph. He wanted to honk it off, but I just told him to go whenever he's ready and I'll react. Wasn't even a race. I came around him like he was standing still.

Jon, that GTR is silly. Google the AMS Alpha at the Texas Mile last week. 233mph. *** me....

AMGfan

Clayton...I saw that video when it first came out...that AMS Omega is redonkulous!!! My GTR won't be that radical...I think they are close to 1500hp on race gas...I think I'll be at close to 1300hp on race gas. I think that is enough for me especially with a full interior.

The Omega I think is still in beta testing though and won't be rolled out until more R&D is done to make sure all the ancillary components hold up. Whatever the case, it is badass.

Thanks for posting the vid Jon. That is amazing to watch. I can't get over how fast the shifts are.

C'mon Benz that's totally unfair, your car against a stock 63

However it's true that the 63 needs a medal for the soundtrack.

233.1 mph amazing , superb gear change especially first 3

Agreed on both counts. He started it.

I knew he was bringing a knife to a bazooka fight, that's why I told him to just go when he's ready to give him a sporting chance. He was very gracious in defeat.

I do love the song they put on when they down shift and go WOT. However, an uncorked V12 is also music to one's ears.


But yeah, totally unfair fight. A tuned SL63 wouldn't have faired much better.
