kinda crazy

 

these are the first performance numbers I've seen for any of the '65' cars... insane really.

 

Eek!!!!!!

 

Wonder why he didnt do a close up on the times

 

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnn!!!!

 

............there is no subsitute.

 

I guess that was fast, although I could barely tell given that footage.

I just hope he brings a ZOOM capable camera along with those drag radials next time. Working a camcorder really isnt that difficult.

 

gawd damn thats just sick, should run 10's w/ a chip and dr's

 

omg that is just beyond sick, i guess that 738 lb/ft of torque is doing its job

 

You'd need an extra 100hp to drop into the 10's from there. Once your sub 12's it requries a lot more power to lose time. Especially with that heavy car.

what chip are you talking about?

 

wow thats a fast ass benz, i want one!!

 

that guy on that link at the top has a real ruff life, Treynor. Check out his web page and his previous cars, although the SL65 is not on there check out his other shit

He runs that stock??? I wonder what a SLR will run??

 

horrible video...........cant see shit

 

renn tech, he can prolly gain 3-4 tenths just from dr's, so that would put em at low 11's, with some basic mods it can def run 10's

 

holy fuck beans!

 

Right out of the factory too. Insane.

 

If basic mods=upping boost then I agree with ya. but it requires a lot of power to run faster when your already that fast. It's not like going from a 15.0 to 14.0. That can be done with 40hp Dropping from a 11 to a 10 takes 100hp easy on a car like that, even more I'd bet.

Dunno what you've done/experienced over the years but I have built a few sub 12 second cars. And the ammount of power needed to drop into the 10's from even a low 12 car was about 200hp (sometimes more depending on the car). The vehicles I had weighed in at 3200-3400 lbs. 1000lbs lighter than the MB.

example:

HP = (Weight / ((ET/5.825)^3))

so 4400lbs (excluding driver) @ 10.9et = approx 872hp at crank.

The equation is kind jacked, as it doesn't account for coefficient drag and some other varibales. But it gives a good idea of whats needed.

 

SiGGy, the guy who owns that car knows what he is talking about, and he even said in the thread that he would never have guessed that 10's would be possible w/ just DR's and some Renntech bolt ons.

but he had changed his mind after the bone stock runs.


i don't doubt what he says.

 

why would he want to mod that car at all? at $180k, its already a fuck load of dough...there are easier ways to get to the 10s...and modding a mercedes isnt one of them

 

^ if you're as rich as the guy who owns that car, that's just what you do. i would do the same.

 

I checked out some stuff on his site (wanted to see what he does for a living since he can afford all those cars). Turns out he works for google. But check this, if you go to the biography page, http://www.treynor.com/BiographyMain.htm , it looks like when he got married, HE TOOK HIS WIFE'S LAST NAME!!! How :ghey: is that???

 

Ya, I don't either. If the bolt-ons give 100hp of gains That car is a pig in weight. Maybe it's under-rated from the factory... kinda like the Cobras. Then that would explain how it can barrel down so fast. 4400lbs is not light by any means.... however that engine is a torque monster too...

I just ran the math on it when I saw the numbers and it didn't quite jive. I'm sure I have something missing from the equation. Did he get it dyno'd too? that'd tell a lot.

 

that seems super :ghey:


maybe there is a good reason.

 

Maybe his last name was focker

 

I totally agree with the last name taking being gay, but shit, if i had the option of taking my wife's last name and getting those cars i would do it. But i really doubt she is the one bankin

 

 

tat be fast

Slips

 

Or your wife owns a bank

http://www.treynorstatebank.com/

 

Well according to the bio she is a pathologist, so am sure she does well for herself, but i doubt shes making THAT much money!

 

Ahh, the speculation about my wife's name finally comes up. Sheesh, people - I took her name because I love her. Her family doesn't own a bank, or a town (Treynor, Iowa), or any other nonsense like that. Some of you really need to get a life

[and FWIW, she makes 6 digits, but I make 7. I buy my own toys]

 

Ah - so the first vids were taken with a little digicam by someone in the 'stands who was kind enough to mail them to me. This vid was taken by someone else with a proper camcorder. I spun too much on the launch to get a fast run, but it's still entertaining...

Oops, didn't know ^^^^^ was a member of this forum Anyways, I hope you didn't take offense to my comment about you taking your wife's name, but you gotta admit it is a little out of the ordinary But I guess love is as good a reason as any, so more power to you! Plus your collection of cars just about outshines anybody elses that i've ever seen or heard of, so lots of respect to you sir!!

 

treynor,

props once again on the times, looks like u can def improve alot with some dr's cause your 60' times are a bit high,

how do ya launch that trq monster??

nice reaction times btw

 

Launches were off of idle. The tires would spin immediately (it IS a 6.0L V12, after all, even without the 22 PSI of boost , then hook up, then spin again at about 35 MPH when the turbos came online. Once into 2nd it would mostly stay hooked up. DRs are going to make a HUGE difference on this car.

That's why I've already got them

 

what renn tech mods u plan on adding??

 

I puzzled over that for a while at first, Siggy. It first came up with my S600, which has a 4850lb race weight and runs 121.3 MPH with "only" 537 RWHP. The thing is, it's making 520-537 RWHP from 3500 to redline (twin turbo V12... go figure), so there's much more area under the curve than the equation you're using normally assumes.

I'm headed back to the 'strip on 10/23 with my DRs, so we'll see how it runs then. I'm guessing 11.4 @ 123. At that point, another 50 RWHP should put it barely into the 10s - and that's just about what I'd get from the RENNtech ecu.

10s in a stock + ECU + DRs lux convertble would be... cool

 

man you have some awesome cars.

 

Good luck man. BTW, awesome photography.

 

I just have to know how you managed to find your way to A-CL??

BTW youre cars are insane
