Oh my god ! Just had my 63 re mapped, it's ridiculously fast, and scares
the pants of you on full chat Everything, road holding, brakes are
pushed to the limit. Your reactions need to be lightning quick, especially
overtaking. Its really quick just driving normally, but when you plant the
pedal the engine takes on a completely different sound, an extra roar and
chur.. My guy said a Porsche will have to be modified to get any where near you. Going to be an interesting drive home.

Who did your ECU tune ? Do you have numbers ? Do you have anything else modified on the car ?

My guy is free lance, his company is called Faster Master , I think.
I met him in the late eighties when he remapped the ECU in my Sierra
Cosworth. He also charges me next to nothing.
Having said that Rentech offer more power and torque on their re mapping,
however is quite expensive and I am worried about engine and gearbox
with even more power. I can't see that you would need even more power,
until you meet something mega fast.

Actually my first was a E55, then I bought a S600, then a SL55 , then a
CL65, then a CLK 63 then a SL63 then a SL65 and finally my new SL63 V8TT.
Don't forget my C220, which everybody uses.

Wonder if you have done any modification to your brakes, RacingBrake has some light weight two piece rotors that can boot your HP, acceleration and deceleration, and save you fuels.

Front light weight two piece rotor:

Rear light weight two piece rotors:

They are available for ex-stock delivery.

Yes !! I have fitted an ejector seat.
Seriously, I haven't cooked the rather superb brakes yet.

Turbo.
