Depends of the SL600 ... there's the '98 and the 2004 I think ...

Am i wrong Dr????
I thought it was a mid 9sec car
Or im mistaken with SL65?
I remember that SL 65 is able for 9.4!!!

 

[dhinkaachika]

Standard, and remember to use a Mid-rage turbo.

what do you mean by a mid-rage turbo? do you mean the 2nd stage one?
does anyone have the car for trade? i have like 230 cars. i am sure i might have something you guys might want.

The stage 2 turbo

Mid range turbo gives you 20 less HP? Is this right?

The stage 2 turbo

doesnt this make it worse?

some cars work better with stage 2 turbos...the hp may take a small hit but the torque in the lower rpm's is increased. then you short-shift them to keep the rpm's in that wide torque range
