RennTechV12

Decided to play hookey today and run out to the track for a little test and tune. After making a few runs and playing with the tire pressures I ripped off this run (my all time best in the SL):

Here are the Atmospheric conditions and corrected times:

I have RENNTech ECU, Trans module and I'm running 17" 275 Mickey Thompson ET/Drag radials on stock SL500 wheels.

Killer time!!

That's one BAD SL you got there brutha!!!

Excellent run brother. That 1.59 60ft is remarkable, got torque.

It looks like there's more to be had here. Your 0-60 time is more indicative of a mid-12-second run. Were you spinning the meats through most of first?

JJIII55

That does it no more racing with you! Just kidding! Firebird? Speedworld? Time to mod my E55. Richard at Dynocomp giving you kickbacks?

rflow306

The number shown is the 0 to 60 feet which is 1.59s, the only car that I know of that will run 12's with that 60 is maybe an evo or a wrx.
An e55 with that 60ft will run mid 12's on the brakes.
So far no e55 that I know of has been able to 60ft in the 1.5's.

You never cease to amaze me. Congrats

Look at the slip again. I1 is the 0-60 ft time. I2 is the 0-60 mph time. I3 is the 1/8 mile time. I was referring to I2, which is 4.678 seconds. With a 1/4 mile time of 11.25, his 0-60 mph time should be closer to 4.0 seconds with good traction.

Grumpy most if not all 1/4 mile tracks display in the following format.
0-60ft time=I1
0-330ft time=I2
0-1/8mle time or 660ft=I3
1/8 mile mph=I3 (mph)
0-1000ft=I4
1/4 mile et
1/4 mile mph.

The mph is only displayed at the 1/8 and 1/4 mile marks. I can understand why you got confused.

0-60 should be 3.6 or so right??

Unreal...

1.5 60ft .....wow.....

..........very impressive. Basically, it is only a matter of time before a mercedes runs in the 11's without nitrous.

Don't you mean 10's?

Ted Baldwin

..........LOL! you are right I meant 10's. 11 is long long gone.

And wasn't Derek already there? (10.95 I think) Not to take anything away from the SL600! Nice work!

Derek used NOS on his 10 second run.

I think if RennTech went to Houston, he could possibly break into the 10's. That track is at sea level and there is a prevailing wind there that blows toward the finish line.

I was at Speedworld with RenntechV12 two weeks ago and another guy in our group brought his SL65 and he was running 11.15 with 1.5-60' times pretty consistantly. He had also been to see the local Renntech shop. These guys make me in my stock E55 look slow. Not to mention there is a Viper that goes along (twin turbo 1200+HP) that runs in the 10's on Street tires. Very cool!

Insane! Gotta see some videos!

Yeah, ****! And I knew that, too. I guess I shouldn't post until the drugs kick in. A clear case of Rectal Cranium Inversion.
