Rick, those videos are the BEST we've seen yet. The picture quality, the video stability, the music, the comments, the lyrics, everything looks great. Thanks for taking the time to do this.........

Fast cars in general....
Hello all, I was the one who w/ CL65 at the strip. I was planning on taking viper that day but got a flat tire on the way to strip hence I took CL for the first time. I wasn't too happy with the results but I shouldn't complain after all that it was the driver not the car. All the passes were made with traction ON and in S trans mode. The car is 100% stock and had worn tires. I wanted run with different settings however after 3 runs I had to go back to my office for an urgent meeting. That day, I was with my viper buddies so I didn't get a chance to meet/hang out with MB guys from here except rarfinancial(?). If there are any local meet ups or MB events, please keep me posted so I can meet ya all The CL is currently waiting for ECU/TCU upgrade from Evotech and once it's done I will keep you posted w/ dyno result.

gripforce-cl65, how is it going? Welcome to the boards man....... I tried to catch you a couple of times right after your runs at Fontana, but you disappeared every time. I'm glad you chimed in here and found our thread. Your car looked great.......

So, how fast did your car go that day? I think I saw a couple of 12.3s..... On drag radials, your car would definately go sub 11s even at Fontana

Yes it is Juicee...... And I'm so glad and proud to have joined you in this epic journey of yours. Do you remember? I still remember the early beginning when we started learning about DA, weather corrections, track elevation effects, etc...... Your car went through a great transformation: from 14 seconds down to 12.30s in the 1/4 mile And my car joined yours throughout (almost) the whole journey. Do you remember early on when your car would do 12.90s, then mine would do 12.90s, then your car would pull 12.70s, and then again my car would go 12.70s, then somehow we managed to get both cars to drop to 12.50s for a while, and then finally now both of our cars are right there at 12.30s and ready to break into the 12.20s I swear sometimes I feel that my car gets stronger and stronger everytime I drive it harder and harder......
Maaaaaannn....... we've been through so many tracks, different weather conditions: from 90 degree temperatures to smoke, dust, and ash in the air to rain and high winds to even getting close to staging on ice
Pheeeeeeeeeewwwhhh....... What a journey, huh? We've learned a lot about our cars as well as other cars. We also learned a lot about racing, and we continue to learn more and more everytime we head to a track. Also, we got to meet so many great people along the way like Rick, Johnny, Phil, Greg, Shawn, and the rest of the group.
And you know what's the best part about this journey? The best part is that it is only the beginning

I still cannot believe your car ran a 12.34, when I saw the slip at the shack I thoughtthe 12.34 was my car !! I won the race but dam the stock E was the 12.30's car!! Amazing indeed.

those are 12.10-12.19 runs if you lose the dam head wind!

So I have done alot of math and looks like the car at zero DA is 12.09-12.12@116-116.7. At -750 DA or better she goes sub 12

We are both definately on our way to 12.11s and maybe if Sacramento shows -700 DA or better, then we can go sub 12s ..............

I hope your car is ok, I thought for certain removing those suspension bolts would cause more probs..Amazing your car got so many runs in w/o the back wheel falling off.

Here is what I say for your car estimates are a bit higher

12.06@117 at zero feet. Your car is seriously 4/1000ths faster LOL..

Ok, I know I promised some great vids of the show down at Fontana but damn so tied up working. I managed to just get a quick little clip that somes it all up. What you are about to see is "TOP SECRET" and "MUST NOT BE REBROADCAST" without the personal written consent of "THE JUICEE MAN". doing so may be Punishable by 6 months in jail and or a $5000 fine payable to "RARFINANCIAL" I will get some races posted soon.
