I put up two 12.3s a couple weeks ago on stock PP rubber at ~1 mile high in altitude.

I didn't realize there was another car at the beginning, so I thought..."Damn! What kind of exhaust does he have on his CLS63? It sounds exotic!" LOL....and then there is Lambo appearing on the right side

Did you use race start? What was your car settings?

Yep, race start & stiffest suspension setting

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
justthebest,
Thanks for sharing.

If I remember correctly (and Josh can correct me here)...I believe the suspension setting should be on Comfort, on the C219 CLS63's, to get the best times.

The same 'might' be true on the C218's.

Pretty sure a DA correction would have me running faster (lower altitude --> denser air --> faster). Using the DA calculator on Dragtimes dot com, I get between 11.0 & 11.7 as my corrected speed.

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely have to figure that out next season (track closed last week).

Great times on stock rubber and out of the box performance.

I am from Denver and I know it can be a challenge to get any car to move.

Looks like this is a sub 12 car for sure and likely traps 120 plus stock. I would launch in the softest suspension and the most aggressive shift S1, course I have no idea , lol. But you need weight transfer and soft will do that.

I will likely pick mine up this weekend,


after seeing the 11.37 run by the renntech car. Looks like MB got a winner here
