Now there is one typ of car I hate, Mercs, cant bloody stand them, there for old farts and they all look shite, even the new SLK's.

 

I got beat this morning by a CL600!

 

Man, this thing went like a rocket so when I got to work all pi55ed off, I went into the merc site and this thing is a, wait for it (fook me!)

 

V12

5.5l

500BHP + 800lbs torque

Twin turbo

 

Its a fooking monster!!! I thought the ZED was a biggy!!!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :confused:

 

They do cost £92,000 for the basic though!!!:cry:

LOL Nice cuss!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

A good friend of mine traded in his M5 for a new sl55amg last month, it is a fantastic machine, scary quick, with an engine that makes a ferrari sound like a hair dryer, the z doesn't get a look in peformance wise.

By the way the cl65amg IS turbocharged, it's a twin turbo V12, 748lbs of torque :eek: :eek:

i take it that the name SL55AMG denoted a 5.5-litre engine? If so, what happens when it comes to a corner or tries to stop? Even if it handles ok, it must have the nimbleness and corner ability of an elephant on an ice ring!:rofl:

a CL65?!?!?

 

erm, from merc:

 

The CL-Class range offers 3 engines, the impressive CL 500, the powerful CL 600 and the dynamic CL 55 AMG. With state of the art engineering they all boast unparalleled performance figures making them the most exclusive coupés on the road.

 

model range

 

no CL65 there, also not in my tech data either :confused:

ok - it now seems theres 2 CL600's, & one of thems got twin turbos!! :o

 

:slap: for me this time :cry:

Tut Tut Paul, now go and tell yourself off :D

o no!!

 

I guess you'll have to train your techs on the art of twin turbo replacement, its probably hard to get ahold of a Cl600 so something thats more available to you may be necessary ;)

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Aren't they limited to 155 mph? You could always have had one on top-end if that's the case!! Wouldn't that p*** him off !! Someone here in the middle of nowhere (Anglesey) has just bought one. He lives in a £90,000 house and drives a more expensive Merc!! Maybe I should sell the house and buy a nice tuned F40 and live in a tent!!

you can now order the AMG's with or without the speed limiter, the SL55 was good for 202mph IIRC :eek:

I knew this thing was turbocharged, I heard both of them when he caned it past me!

 

But I wasn't 100% so I kept my mouth shut!:rolleyes:

 

Stoopidly fast cars......I put £40 in my zed every 3-4days, imagine how much this facking thing costs to fill and what return you get, cant be good with 12 cylinders, thats just greedy!!!:eek:

Erm, am I missing something, V12, Single overhead cam, with only 3 valves per cylinder???? 3 Valves per cylinder?? Single Cam V12????

 

Ermm, confused

all of the Merc V engines are the same! some German engineer obviously found this was the most efficient/lowest emmission/compact way.

Paul, I think that you are missing the point about what zcar is saying.

 

If the block is in a V shape then how can it run off one cam??

 

Must be one bloody big cam!!

 

Or does it mean one cam per six cylinders?? But that would make two cams.:slap:

Yeah, it's gonna be SOHC per bank. I guess two of the valves will be intake, with one zorst valve per cylinder.

Dont care how many valves it has or how fast it goes, for £90,000 i can make the Z beat it! :D

In fact by the time im finished im hoping for my Z to do just that. Will take me time, though. Im not the richest guy in the world and the insurance is crippling me. £2,400 TPFT!!!!!:eek:

Thats a couple of really nice turbos gone, then.:(

Wander if they could charge that if it wasnt law to have it?:rolleyes:

Well, just to give an idea, in the next 2yrs or so, im after:

Roller bearing lightened and balanced bottom end,

Carillo rods,

JE low comp pistons,

Uprated oil, water and fuel pumps,

Titanium valve springs, bigger valves, faster/higher lift cams,

ported heads, Nismo head gaskets and bolts,

555cc injectors, higher pressure fuel regulator,

Greddy E-manage, removal of HICAS,

The biggest turbo's i can find/maybee single turbo conv,

a partridge in a pear tree.

:D :dance:

sounds good siraff, is a single turbo conversion available for a V6?:confused:

i think it might be a single cam like the ford V6 with push rods!

 

just my 2p's worth!!!:dance:

i had a rover v8 that only had 1 cam and push rods:)
