Our only drag in bulgaria is actually an old landing spot for private jets so it
isnt really suited but as they say be happy with what you got...

this is 700meters above sea-level
the whole place is made from concrete blocks
(which slow you down at high speeds)
the runway actually has a small positive gradient
(around +5degrees, which further hampers times)

overall the state of the drag/runway is pretty bad, and im sure a
better drag would produce better times , i will have to go to greece
in the summer to find out

I run with another person in the car (i know ) with 1/4tank gas
and standard pressure on the tyres (2.5bar front 2.5 bar back)

1/4mile time was : 13.45s and trap speed was 106.8mph (170km)
i didnt do any more runs as there were races on the drag afterwards, see second pic attached

some other times for your reference:

ML63 AMG stock : 13.90s

Techart Magnum (Cayenne Turbo 530bhp): 13.55s

Lambo Gallardo e-gear (2004 which was 490bhp i think) 13.50s

Cayenne Turbo (new 500bhp): 13.31s

F430 with sequential gearbox 13.20s

CLS 55 AMG ART stage 2 (620bhp/900nm): 12.74s

Dodge Viper (2006 stock) 12.68



Overall im quite happy. I will try to run again with my back tyres at 2.0bar
and hopefully that will allow me to reduce my time somewhat.

any comments? suggestions? thanks

Good numbers, thanks for the pics. What was your best method for a good launch?

Wow! Interesting numbers. Your CLS is fast!!!!

And the new Cayenne Turbo is faster than the TechArt one and faster than the Gallardo.... WOW

CLS55-AMG

no Cayenne Turbo... i think there was something wrong with the time , but he only ran once so i cant dispute it! according to the owner it is stock (500bhp) but it beat a 530bhp Cayenne Magnum so im not quite sure

here is a pic of the turbo

havent experimented by much but so far:
esp off, airmatic in sports 1, gearbox in S mode, flick the switch to first gear... once i get the green light i push the accelerator halfway for about 1 second and then fully depress it
