Oh, by the way, congrats RS. I had a chance to drive one of those not too long ago. Awesome cars. An absolute blast to drive!

Nice car Jeff. I have a CL500 that will be going to RENNtech next month for a supercharger and some other goodies. Should be quicker than the CL55 when it's done. Gotta love the CL's, awesome cars.
Renntech is the first class way to go. I took a little less expensive route and installed the Evosport - Evolution 2 Power Package which got me up to about 580 hp.

I love this car.

:)

Yeah but you already have the supercharger (kompressor). 580 is huge for that car! It must fly! the CL55 is fast already! i looked at Evosport but they didn't seem to have much for the 500 motor. RENNtech is spendy but it will be done right. They really know their chit. they told me i should be in the low 4's 0-60. :D

I looked at a CL600 RennTech in Fort Lauderdale before I bought mine and it was off the charts, but I had a feeling the owner really beat the snot out of it and the local Mercedes guys told me to stay away from the 12 cylinders. It was tempting. He had dyno charts showing about 650 at the rear wheels.
 
Yeah i guess the earlier 12 cyl were junk. I was told that too. I love my car. They are soooo smooth and plenty of power. There is nothing better than cruising down the highway and then stomping on the gas and watching the needle climb and climb and climb and climb...
Can't wait for RENNtech!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

And here I was thinking this car was putting out some good numbers... geez us people??? THose are a LOT bigger than what I can hope to see even if I got to 500 (which is possible with a slightly bigger turbo and head work/cams). Right now I am right at 100hp per cylider on stock boost, so I think I should stay there unless I had another car to drive everyday. :beard:
