Finally broke 190 in the mile today. Actually surprised it did considering conditions. Over 90 degrees with stiff head wind.

Video of one of the runs from dragtimes:

Wow, nicely done! Renntech has done a wonderful job with your car!

Have you ever recorded a run from 60-130? I'm very curious to see how your car does in that area.

SGC

Thanks bassn.

A lot of time on the dyno.

I have never recorded a 60-130; however, thinking about picking up a Vbox lite.

Man you just made me miss my 65 all over again. Great job Steve!,

See now this is something I could get used to, You might see me down in Miami very soon as I am looking to move within the next few months.

Congrats. Thats one fast CL. Did renntech run the C63 and the SL65BS? I saw pics of the cars there but can't seem to find a list of times for all cars.

It would be really great to see the Speedometer as you accelerate

SGC

Thanks Dsmed.

I believe Black Series was a customer's car. It put down 650 to the wheels. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLNsNLhhRGM

Think it was the Black Series owner's first time out. He was a little cautious, took it easy and left early. Car is probably good for around 185.

The C63 had a coil go bad and that dictated the day. However, it went 180 at last event held by Mile Marker 1 on March 10th.

That is sick!

Great run; Renntech has that beast dialed-in.

Un-real Steve your car continues to raise the bar at every attempt

SGC

Thanks guys.

quite impressive. i wanna ride in that thing some day

Very impressive! I noticed in the video link you provided RENNtech totally removed your CL65 side rearview mirrors & covered w/some sort of aerodynamic flat coverings, I don't know how many mph that is worth?

But should be noted RENNtech picked up 9mph in C63 by adding some front & rear wheel & arch covers & also removing the side rearview mirrors & adding flat coverings. The C63 went 176 mph w/out the aerodynamic enhancements, & 185 mph w/aerodynamic enhancements.

That is incredible! Nicely done!

motorkas

nicely done!

F1Bobby

Very cool!

SGC

Thanks. As you probably know, the mirrors fold in on the CL65. As such, if removing my mirrors picked up a full 1 mph over simply folding them in, I would be surprised. In sum, the mirror covers don't do much, but I want my .25 of a mph.

Bigger question, how much did 90 + degree heat and 15 mph headwind slow the car down? I bet more than my mirror covers added.

SGC

Thanks.

That's fricken amazing to run such times in not so favorable conditions, just amazing. I can't wait to see what that beast could do with cooler temps and a slight tailwind . Good luck and be safe!

SGC

Thanks Bassn.

Just saw some video of your E55. The car is flying. Congrats.

blackbenzz

Awesome! Congrats! Good to see benzes out there representing very well for the marque

SGC

Thanks blackbenzz.

RacerX0911

amazing video... even better sound!

Thanks SGC! Not quite as impressive as your accomplishments but she's done well in her platform. My goal this year is to get her into the 10.4-10.5 without the laughing gas. The bar has been set very high by people like yourself, Ahmad, and Marko....this will push us all to be a bit faster.

Do you have any personal goals this year? I would love to see one of you guys in the 9's personally. It's very doubtful any of the E55's will be able to get there which means we'll have to rely on the our big brothers to represent. Go get yours!!!!

V12Godspeed

Don't count the E55's out yet....Looks like an E55, drives like an E55, with just a tad more power...

One more month...I will be able to find out if it will run 9's or not.
