The (now) world famous RENNtech SLR beat it's own previously set record and is apparently closing in on mid 9s

Video coming soon....

EDIT: Here is the video, enjoy guys....

 

Steve is one hell of a driver. But I'm sure there are going to be alot of haters as usual.

 

I saw this whip when I was down in Florida a few months ago. Im a fan (even though the guy said it was still stock boost )

 

I think it needs some more HP Mo

 

Okay, I just added the video

 

Great run would love to here the mods

 

me too

 

CONGRATS Steve!!!!!!!!!! Great runs!!
That car is flying!!
It sounds like it is still spinning through 1st gear?
What was you 60'?

 

 

That's bananas. I love that the only posted mod on the video page is a carbon rear bumper.

Josh

 

That is amazing -
And it would be nice to hear about the mods?

 

Can you say...

Regardless, that is hauling mail.

 

Congrats BC!

 

Hater better post up their times if their gonna hate. Otherwise drop and bow.

 

What changes were made between last record and this one?

 

Header and TB improvements.... still no NOS

By the way, the car still has more in it.... this record was set in worse conditions than the one set in November.

 

The SLR is just incredible, it's the best Mercedes ever made, EVER! It sounds insane, looks stunning with an amazing interior and now a mid 9s car. The Veyron doesn't come close when comparing 1/4 mile times. All this with a stock blower I'm so gutted right now, this thing is my dream car and I know I can't have one so yes, I'm gutted

 

BC is balling out of control, between this thing, a bunch of veyrons, Koenigsegg and a bunch of other lambos and Porsches and such. congrats to him and renntech

 

great run!!

hey redbulljunky check your pm's lol

 

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel the same way.
Gotcha.

 

Sounds like the SLR is getting into fourth gear. Doesnt the SLR run the same trans and rear gear as the SL55/65 cars? If that SLR is getting into fourth gear then they figured out how to program the trans.

 

I can't watch to vid on my iPhone, but that's a good point. My car shifts into 4th right before the 1/4. How long is he in 4th?

He could also be short shifting 2nd or 3rd in manual mode. My car won't allow this, even with the Speedriven TCU. Manual is not manual in the SL600 TCU tune. You suggest want you want, but it ignores you.

Or he may have changed rolling diameter out back, which effectively changes gearing, without really changing gearing.

 

Im not thinking straight. He has to get into 4th due to the speed of the run. Sounds like he gets into 4th between 2 to 3 sec before the timing lights go off.

 

To trap 142 it's got to hit 4th gear. Shifts extremely fast though so that helps.

 

Highly possible given greatly improved intake and exhaust flow.
