You realize the car already has turbos right?

Yes, I do realize that it is a BiTurbo. I was just wondering if there is any way to get even more power.

 

The M275 loves a good ECU tune.

 

A fully worked RENNtech 275 is something to experience..

We're running a special on RT items for the spring.. If interested please drop a line!

How much does a RENNtech 275 cost and how is it installed?

 

275 is the engine that's in your S600, ie M275, 6L twin turbo V12

Contact me off list if you would like pricing quotes regarding RT packages.

Do you have a picture of this beast?

 

Buy a black series AMG and stop F.. around with a S class, they were never meant to be sports cars.

 

I am always intrigued by people who want more power out of an already powerful car. I know some of us take their cars to the track or drag strip, but for average daily use, where do you intend to put all that power down?

Of course more power is always great, but MB spent hundreds of millions of $$$$ in designing, testing and balancing these cars. Just adding more power without proper suspension, brake, cooling, transmission, etc. adjustments, just make the car off-balance, like a body builder with one huge bicep which doesn't match anything else. A car is more than an engine, all parts have to work together in harmony.

Please don't take my comments as criticism but only a question.

Thanks.

+2. Granted it's yours but where are you going to drive that thing 200 mph? Bronx River Pkwy lookout!

 

Hahaa, its a little too wide for the Bronx River Parkway. I have a summer place up in Massachusetts and about 45 minutes away is a drag strip. My family and I frequently visit it as spectators. But now, with a car like this and maybe adding a little power I thought I would give drag-racing a try.

 

Your in the wrong car my friend. You need an SL55 or 63. And since we've settled that, I'll take that S600 you won't be using anymore. I'll PM you my address for shipping. Thanks Boss!:thumbsup:

 

Hahaha, no problem. Your probably right about getting an SL55 AMG or something similar. However, stock 2004 S600 do the quarter mile at around 11 seconds (usually give or take a second), which isn't that bad. So believe it or not, an S600 can be used for some lower level drag racing. I believe there are some nice clips on youtube although it appears most of those S600's have ECU upgrades.

 

or the very rare S65

 

I looked into an S65AMG. This insurance quote on that thing is twice my S600, which is already 2-3 times average. For a 57 year old man with a pristine driving record they wanted over $10,000 a year!!! The S600 is only around $3,700.

 

OMG

 

I don't see any reason Not to bump the performance.. Sure you can't use it All over the place, but you can enjoy it, just need to pick your moments.

OEM's always leave performance on the table..they have warranties/liability etc to think about...
It's fairly well known that MB pulled back the performance of this engine when it was released..I believe initially they had it as high as 700+bhp..but it melted transmissions.

The brakes are enormous, and will handle Serious triplie digit stops w/o major fuss.. If you want to improve their performance, install Porterfield R4 pads and Castrol SRF fluid.

Transmission can be tended to by bumping line pressures...if you Really want to use the power All the time, I'd recommend installing a Larger trans cooler and temp gauge...

As w/ everything, We all get used to what we have and want More, it's just human nature;-)

go for it, you seem to know what you want!

 

and ill def be your co pilot anyday, im in long island :bowdown:

 

V12 Engine Out (feast your eyes) - MBWorld.org Forums
