W209 CLK55 at the drag strip, video inside

Matutino · 10-29-2011, 08:48 PM

My first time with the CLK at the drag, its also my first time drag racing an automatic. I did 2 runs, first with the paddle shifters and one using the S mode
I had a full tank of gas, street tires with DD air pressure.
It was fund and I think the CLK did good. AAA speedway is well known for slow times, my turbo M3 did 13.2 @ 113mph
Enjoy
Auto S mod

Nice 60' on the second run. It is amazing how well the w209 gets out of the hole compared to the W208. I was cutting low 2.0's and then a 1.96. With all seasons, and stock pressure. Stay away from the paddle shifting, it will only slow you down.

I hope to go back one more time when the weather is more favorable and get some high 12s.

How was the weather?

What are your mods, if you have any?

I have all season tires as well, didn't even lower the air pressure

My clk55 is stock. I had the spare tire, jack and full tank of gas

Nice runs, I was also full weight. Grab some headers

They are on sale for $999. And get some high flow filters. I actually prefer the design of K&N but love the AFE Dryflows. No oil FTW.
