Renntech's My CL65 Today - WOW!

Holy Sh&*! This car is a BEAST!

I was a little concerned when I did a baseline dyno stock as it was a little low. After picking it up today, they said its one of the strongest cars they have ever done and they have done a alot of 600's and 65's locally.

It only has the Renntech ECU, TCU and 100 Octane Flash.

It was dyno'd on a "Dyno Dynamics" which reads roughly 8-10% lower than dyno's such as "Dyno Jet" and about 5% lower than "Mustang Dynos".

The car put down 575RWHP and 801RWTQ

Now the owner of the shop said their conversion for their "Dyno Dynamics" dyno is 1.29, I would say to be safe calculate around 125-126. So multiply these numbers by 1.29 roughly and thats the what's at the flywheel.

Estimated Flywheel HP is: 740 HP
Estimated Flywheel TQ is: 1033 TQ

Stock the car made 453RWHP and 592RWTQ on the same dyno, same day.

The car is insane! Its spins the tires in the 1st 3 gears at any speed You can be doing 50mph and stomp on it and you will get instant wheel spin. I have never truly experienced this much Torque, it makes your head hurt!

Now for comparision, my Protomotive 996TT put down the following #'s on the same Dyno back in December with 100 octane fuel and high boost setting: 479AWHP and 540AWTQ

Now, my Protomotive 996TT dyno'd on EVOMS Mustang Dyno in March put down: 531AWHP and 525AWTQ. On the same day, my Kleemann K1 SL55 put down 448RWHP and 540RWTQ. I thought this would be good for comparision sake.

I would like to race my 996TT against the CL65 just to see which is faster. The 996TT has a ton less weight, but the Torque of the CL65 is brutal! I think it would be a close race, maybe giving the win to the 996TT but not by much?

The car is awsome! I am really enjoying it and will be putting a Renntech Lowering module on tomorrow.

Not yet, but going too. I am also going to have an upgraded Transmision unit intsalled, it has to be shipped from germany. I will also upgrade and get the Renntech Intercooler Pump. The stock one which was actualy just replaced last week is not doing a good enough job with this new set up. Believe it or not, the #'s above are with the car pulling timing due to heat. Imagine what it will do with proper Intercooler Pump?

It must be the older CL65.
I was thinking at first it was the new 65' and wondering how quick did they develop parts tuning for it.

Nice figures though.

I keep having this recurring dream of myself driving a completely lightweight stripped out version of one of those '65 AMG Mercedes' around the Nurburgring.
