Yes, its a W215 CL65 with Prototype VRP intercoolers, and intake, VRP ECU tune, stock TCU, 3" Stainless catalytic converter delete X pipe, CM90 with 4 gallon cooling circuit. We filled the tank with ice on this 10.82 pass and the car left worse than on the 10.76 pass as it spun hard out of the hole. You can't see or hear it in the video because of all the loud cars. The car is making enough power to run high 10.60's. I have not been able to duplicate my 1.60 short times.

Roland, I can see the look on your face when I read this. I actually felt bad for you when I read it. Thinking to myself, what can he do now....
WOW. TTV12 is truly something to appreciate. Factory sealed,fueled,boosted aluminum mill with intercoolers making that kind of power. My next MB is going to be V12tubro. I don't care if it's in an MB sprinter cargo van, I want that powertrain! Sick

The V12TT platform is amazing. I have considered getting one for quite some time now. Ever since I met Jason and ran into his beast lol. It really is 2 different worlds though and for now I like my CLK55 better. It is more "fun" to drive since I like to hit the road course every once in a while.

I had the same reaction from one of the track wrokers directing cars to the staging area last weekend - he literally said to me, "you are an idiot to be running a Mercedes out here - what kind of body kit is that?"
I rolled up my window and turned the AC on.

SL65 VRP1000 and 20" Monolites
Congrats Marko
Congrats Marko..
You know that my car is the car that VRP pioneered the "Scorpion" intake that your car is currently running.
Vadim and VRP still have my car in California, SL65, and they are adding 2 GT40s to the rear to make a Quad Turbo.
I often wonder if it was a mistake to put in bigger cams, and add the two turbos, now that I'm seeing what your car is doing.. I would probably be satisfied with that type of performance.
But, now that I do see what your car is doing, I'm TOTALLY STOKED, to see what mine will do, once Vadim does get it all put back together.
Congrats on the awesome runs.
