2014 SL65 AMG running RennTech mufflers and ECU tune as well as cooling system upgrade; two coolant pumps for three water/air heat exchangers for the two intercoolers. Pic of both pumps. Sorry I didn't take better pictures, completely forgot until after the car left. Also wanted to take video with sound, because it sounds epic. Twin turbo V12 FTW. I finished the install earlier this week but was grumpy because the RennTech instructions were terrible as usual. Products were quite good though.

This thing is brutal fast, even with ESP completely on it will go sideways and send you into a wall if you're not agreat driver or get overconfident. Will easily break free at 50mph at half throttle. Didn't time it but it felt like it hit 100mph in under 6 seconds. But when you're not in it too hard it's still super comfortable.

Now I've got a customer who wants to supercharge his SLS...

I'm going to choose to believe that the Renntech mufflers are supposed to make the car quieter to better sneak up on lamborghinis with.

Lol. They're not actually all that loud. Just a bit more than normal. But better sound for sure.

I just want to meet the type of guy who drives a car as crazy as the SL65 and says "hm... needs more power."

This is what I want when I make all the money in the world. I find it amazing how absolutely understated and under appreciated they are. Truly one of the greatest factory built monsters, but few people ever talk about how stupid fast they are.

The same type of guy that never owns an unmodified car. His collection includes an 8 second GTR, yes quarter mile (proven, I've seen the video/time slips). A brand new C7 Z06, presumably yet to be modified. A C6 ZR1 that he says has 1000hp. And at least 15 other awesome cars.

8 Second GT-R? AMS or Switzer?

Or a third company?

I agree. And there is nothing like driving a V12 cruiser.

No idea, sorry. I didn't get details. GTR's aren't my thing so I didn't think to ask.
