**** New Mercedes 1/4 Mile Record: The First Mercedes In The 9s - RENNtech-SLR ****

..
RENNtech starts the new year by being first to put a Mercedes-Benz vehicle into the 9s down the 1/4 mile. The RENNtech powered SLR shattered the previous Mercedes 1/4 mile record of 10.27 when it ran a 9.76 @ 140 mph while being piloted by no other than the super human driver SGC

Big congrats to you guys and happy new year

Not hating on the SLR at all and I think that the 9.765 @ 140.87mph time is very... very fast... but there is something less impressive about this run when you start to consider how light the SLR is with the extensive use of carbon fiber from the factory...and how much money the SLR cost to begin with. Call me crazy but I would be more impressed if an E55 runs 9.9s given the starting point of both cars...
