E63, SL 550 Sport,C63 Coupe On the Way!!
Not only am I saying that we made 850 horsepower, I AM SAYING that we make 850 horsepower at less than 4lbs. of boost on a engine where we have already safely run more than twice that.
You can believe anything you want, I don't care. You obviously believe some story about a white SLS that has headers that is just as fast, that's what sounds unbelievable. I would love to hear from the person that raced with us or compared cars with us. The only thing I would be asking them is why they're car is not in our shop getting some modifications?
You are more than welcome to believe what you want but I would seriously love to hear from the guy with the white SLS. Whoever the person is they are more than welcome to come down to our shop as I would love to show you around and give you a ride if you want. Our doors are open to all Mercedes owners, please stop in anytime you want, you will always be welcome.

Ladies and Gents, beware of this scam. The SLS tranny won't handle more than 750hp. Brabus built two bi-turbo SLS's when they first came out and they had to discontinue them, because the tranny simply wouldn't handle it.
World Motorsports's SLS had and is still having many tuning issues. They even reached out to Weistec last year to try to get the tuning sorted out.
Don't take it from me. Let the results speak for themselves. So they are claiming 850hp for the SLS. If that is true and since they took their car to the drag strip, it shouldn't elapse above 10 seconds and it shouldn't trap less than 145mph.
They are going to sell this system for nearly 50k. God knows why,lol. For that price, I would expect at least to see some results and some power figures instead of some BS claims.

Ahahahaah. I expected that lame reply. Again, no technical track data and no dynosheets. Yet you claim 850hp for your SLS

They hired another ex-Toyota sponsored driver from the East Coast and he is the one that made the change to Mercedes vehicles. He had been working with European vehicles after he stopped racing for Toyota.

They have been around for a while but they were the factory backed race team for Toyota and the used to manufacture parts for Toyota vehicles. They are pretty much located on Toyotas campus or they are the first building next to Toyota.

Truth be told the SLS has the weakest tranny of all three of my BS's, weakest in terms of load but by far the best tranny in terms of performance.

We are testing a new cam package that seems to work really well with the car. We also changed up some of the plumbing recently and how the EVAP system was and we have managed to really increase the response of the turbo system. We also did a redesign on the header and I would expect to be back on the dyno within the month.
Right now the car is much more responsive and we are easily making a lot more power but we also need to work out the clutch as we have easily surpassed it's strength with what we have done to it so far.

I saw this car at Eurotopia a few months back and while i don't know it's actual stats Chris (the owner) said it was putting out just under 900 crank and around 730 to the wheels but they had some problems with one of the components handling the power and were working on beefing it up but i don't remember what the component was
Also the car apparently was stalling out in the bends so i'm not sure how it's improved since then but once all the kinks are worked out it should be a beastly car, can't wait to see the end result
That wing needs to go though...
I actually took a few pictures of it at the meet along with 2 E63s they brought out as well:

We are just working on beefing up the transmission but a lot of the components are out of our hands and are taking so long to get done, it's been ridiculous. We bought some new equipment to start making some of these components ourselves and it should be arriving in the next 30 days. As soon as we get up to speed on using it, we will start fitting ion some of these new parts and we should be able to deliver over 1000 wheel horsepower once the transmission is up to speed.

My Weistec supercharged SLS BS is at Weistec as we speak. I believe this tt SLS is owned by someone in Orange County, I am down for a friendly race, just say the word.

You would have to come up to LA for that as they usually start in Hollywood but that's not to far. If you want you can meet up with us at the shop and we can cruise up from there.
I'm sure we will get a ton of chances to line up and have some fun.

We can throw the stock clutch in it and do that if you want. Were not in Orange County but I'm sure we can meet up somewhere and have some fun driving around if you want. Maybe you can come up and we can go on one of the Platinum cruises. We always go on them and there's lots of nice cars that like spirited driving.

I just flew into Monterey tonight, headed to Laguna Seca. I have Skip Barber Pro Race School for the next three days and then I am running my SLS in the USCA race at Laguna Seca next weekend, headed back down to OC Sunday night. I will be around thru the middle of next week(possibly longer), I would not mind heading up to LA, maybe do some Mulholland runs with the SLS's

There's a Platinum run on April 5th, not sure if you are going to be around but any SLS's that are interested or an other AMG for that matter should come out if they want to.
