2003 and later S600's have twin turbos and make 510HP and over 600TQ. The AMG's are super charged. My 2004 S600 posts 0-60 times of 4.1 sec (has the AMG chip). Not bad for 5500lb car.

Wow. You learn something everyday. I did not know that any non-AMG Mercedes were turbo charged. Cool.

add the renntech to the 5.5 bi turbo and you get something like this...

RENNtech Performance upgrades, this full-factory warranty vehicle produces 640HP and 780 LB-Ft of torque! The RENNtech package on this 2006 Mercedes SL600 consists of RENNtech's ECU (engine control unit) Upgrade, RENNtech TCU (transmission control unit) upgrade.

M3-ADDICT is infamous around these parts

They are running a click it or ticket campaign. They pull you over for seat belts. Should be around for a little more than a month.
