Dragway 1/4 mile results

Location was New England Dragway in Epping, NH.
5 runs total before the rain came and track then closed.
Temperature approx 60-degrees.

Best ET for all runs was 13.233 sec (at 105.18mph; 1/8 for this run was 8.556 at 83.71).
Best trap speed for all runs was 105.88 mph (13.315 sec).
All runs were 13.2xx-13.4xx at 104.xx-105.xx mph.
60' in the low 2's.

ML63 is bone stock (including tire pressure).
2,500 miles on odometer.
ESP off for majority of passes.
Brake-torque launch used for majority of passes.
Transmission for majority of passes was Sport 1st gear (click left-button on back of steering wheel so transmission indicates "1"). Transmission automatically then upshifts at redline in each gear.

Thank you for reading.

That is a quick SUV! Funny thing it's 1/4 eta's are damn close to what Derrick got in that E63 he bought ran @ the track then sold it directly after..lol Not taking anything away from the ml63, just saying the E63 was kinda slowww weighing 100's of lbs less??

M5.

very nice. Effortless times. At the lights, I'll need to be ready but even then I may need to wait to the highway
