RENNtech CL65 does 185.082 in Standing Mile @ Top Gun Run

SGC · 11-20-2009, 02:50 PM

Attended the TOP GUN RUN in Miami on November 14, 2009 and drove my Renntech modified CL65 and Renntech's C63. Much more organized than the MileMarker-1 event in October with more accurate speed measuring equipment.

The C63 ran 175.729, and the CL65 185.082.

Everyone at the event was surprised at how well the Mercedes ran. It was about 80 degrees with a small head wind. Going back in December for their next event. Anyone who hasn't done this, should.

I have included a list of the cars and their fastest speed for the mile. Doesn't show the mods, but most cars were modded. For example one of the 2010 Camaros listed below had a twin turbo kit, the Gallardo was a twin turbo, one of the M3s had a stroker motor, etc.

Thanks Jody.

Renntech has made some additional mods to my airbox and TCU. Hope to get to the track next Wednesday for some quarter mile runs.

Michelin PS2s.

Had that same thought as the speedo was sweeping past 180.

Congratulations on the purchase. Your car should run just as well. This is my third 65 and they all make similar power, give or take 10-15 rwhp, when tuned.

Hoping for cooler weather. Still in the 80s down here.

Is it a modified stock unit (springs and shims like Kleeman) or is it a different differential (like Quaife)?

Lexani · 11-24-2009, 05:16 PM

You beat out the Z06s and Vipers? Impressive. From what I see, there's only a handful of cars that were faster then you. Nice.

I was pretty surprised as well, but not nearly as surprised as the guys in the Porsche Turbos and Ford Gts.

Thanks! I've been looking for an LSD.

How long did you run at the top speed? What brand and speed rating are your tires-I hope (Y) rating.
