Thumbs up CLS63 times...WOW!

Drove for hard for about an hour and then started timing...here is the the best time:

0-10 .32
0-20 1.03
0-30 1.68 60 ft. 2.00
0-40 2.35
0-50 3.13
0-60 3.92
0-70 4.82 330 ft 5.30
0-80 5.98
0-90 7.13 1/8 7.92 @ 94.7
0-100 8.35
0-110 9.75
0-120 11.33 1/4 11.97 @123

*ESP off on all runs

The car was very consistent...but only after running it hard...the engine seemed to "tune" itself to knowing what I was doing and what I expected.

I've used this timer with my last 3 vehicles...checked it vs. the my time at the track and they seemed right in line so I'm not doubting the great times.

Cheers -

He said he used a timer so there's not going to be a time slip.

Your speed seems off, too fast LOL.

The ETA is possible but no way could you have gotten to 120 mph in 11.33 seconds. You are on the money with the "hard driving" pre tune to the ECU. Your 1/8th mile ETA is possible but your car is trapping 5-10 mph faster which would equate some serious HP.

Nice runs try to get to a NHRA strip , you could have the fastest CLS in the USA!

put the dash into gear mode and I bet you are all starting in 2nd gear I just found out I was starting in 2nd gear. If you want first you need to set to 6th d.. I could not start in 1st gear unless I did the secret move. Lets just say when in 1st u will wake up DS mode does not get my car stating in 1st. Renntech ECU is a must

123mph??????? Yeah right.

Congratulations. your car is trapping 10mph faster than the "fastest" CLS63 to date (Juicee, you better get back to the track).
Are you sure you don't have a CLS65?

I'm sure the timer's properly calibrated. Too bad the road you used to produced these results was downward sloping =)

Juicee-

You got the slowest reaction here. About 24hours late to reply.

We all know this guy suffers from premature stopwatch forefinger syndrome on his homemade sundial.

Having been there with you, no way no how without some costly mods which he is not admitting to.

I've been thinking about buying one of those G timers. However, if the data is that bad, forget it!

i believe trez63 also had one and his numbers were a bit for 0-60. BUTT feel and the chain reaction of smiles it causes on my face are my indicators of 0-60 i don't care what you say
Lets be honest so long as you have fun and don't hurt any one else thats what counts

As many of you know, as I have reported on the blog, they did replace my transmission and tweeked a few things...(see my previous posts)

...Maybe things worked out in my favor ?!?

I'll try to get to Rockingham to compare...anyone want to join...Wed the 25th 6pm - Midnight $20/car...let me know.

Man , I wish you all the best. I would love to see some fast 1/4 mile times in the 63. If that G timer is anywhere near correct you will or should beat the best times. try and get a set of 18" drag radials for your rears on some stock cls rims. Great times man and I want the tranny ecu update you got !!
