RENNTECH CL-600 ATH THE DRAGSTRIP... (VIDEO)

GARY J · January 30th, 2005, 01:49 PM

I took the mercedes to the track. With three people in the car, it went a 7.6 in the 1/8th. I raced a guy with a ram air fire bird running nitrous.

Gary, great video!!! What all mods did you do with Renntech?

**CHAD** · January 30th, 2005, 06:44 PM

Niiiiice.

What does that equate to in the quarter, mid to high eleven?

Getbit, I took my 55 to Renntech and just did the ECU/pulley uprade and could immediately tell a difference. It's well worth it.

I keep laughing, because your runs remind me of my GMC Syclone. Did not look fast or sound fast, but it would kick a lot of big block ass. I enjoy your videos. :thumb:

That is some funny shit.....guy in the TA did a 5 min. burnout only to get the wood laid to him....

Great run, love those ///AMG's! Most people don't believe the power of these tanks. On a poser mod not, I added my 19" HRE 841R's to the car this weekend (thanks Dave!) and took some pics yesterday. Sorry in advance for the threadjack...

Wheels and the wing look GREAT!!! How much were the rims and wheels?

GARY J · January 31st, 2005, 10:29 AM

Hey guys, glad you enjoyed the video. The car has a big brake upgrade, wheels, and software. That's it! Chad, I hope to see the car go a 11.40-11.60 at the next nationals. SJT97, those wheels look great.

Thanks! I bought the wheels/tires used from a guy for $4000.00 dlvd. They were on his E55 for 3 months and then he sold it to buy a CL65 (which he put 20" HRE 547R's on). A brand new set exactly like these would run $6000.00 with tires from a Harris on MBWorld.org. The lip spoiler was $300 painted, not bad if you ask me.

Love the trash talking on the video. Most of those F-Body guys don't know what hit them after they see a luxury car smoke them!

GARY J · January 31st, 2005, 10:41 AM

Yeah, after I beat him he said, "well, if I had half the money in my car that you have in yours... blah,blah,blah." Then his buddy says, "I'll race you next weekend for $100" I told him "$100? I don't have $100 to bet on a race, what do you think, I'm made of money?" I should have told him lets up the ante, lets make it a cool $10,000, on the interstate from 50-200mph. I'll even go get a car with two less cylinders!

Guys like that will never understand.

That's the classic response! Love those types, have them all around here in STL. I guess you can never get away from them...

Gary, Smokin', Getbit, etc...

Here's that picture of the CL65 w/ the 20" HRE 547R's that the guy traded his E55 for.

I have 20's on my CL55. Think those are nineteens.

Gary Javo, do you have a pic of my car from the race?

I have 57R's and those wheels look smaller. More tire maybe? Mine are 255 and 285's.

GARY J · February 1st, 2005, 04:06 PM

here it is

**CHAD** · February 1st, 2005, 04:47 PM

That was quick.

Thanks Gary.

My wheels look bigger, thinner spoked and maybe even more curved. Excuse the bald tires.

BTW, that CL65 is tits. :thumb:
