CLS55 vs M3 550hp turbo at Internation Drag ...
I don't know what the CLS55 driver has done, but it sure can't be stock
M3 driver gets the jump on the CLS.

CLS clears the 1/4 with a 10.8 @ 128mph.
M3 clears the 1/4 with an 11.2 @ 119mph.

Sadly this is a complete fabrication.
If you look at the video the wall says LACR.
That stands for Los Angeles County Raceway located in Palmdale. There is no way in a million years either car posted those times.
Whoever posted the video lied about the times, sad indeed

LACR is located at 3000 feet above sea level. It was a fun place but for street cars not a place you could run quick.
The person who posted the video lied about where the run took place, they lied about the times.
Can you read the scoreboard? not possible @lacr

Still, depending on what the car's had done to it, I could see a 10.8 being possible.

Come to think of it ... I only assumed it was at International from the title ...
Could it be the car itself is modified by Drag International Inc???
They've got some pretty mean stuff from what I've seen.

I would also find this hard to believe just for the fact that they lost traction at the beginning, not just a little but a lot. Take a listen and you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm not saying it's not true but just hard to believe given the launches I saw.
I also believe a 11.2 @ 119 would indeed need a very very stout launch (I would guess mid to high 1.5's) and that M3 is far from it. Could anyone see the scoreboard clearly?

From: sureali17(WHITE CLS 63), this is the owner of that car, its a CLS 63 it runs 13's at LACR and you can read the thread linking this car to your posted vid as well as the original vid where the announcer says 13.xx
https://mbworld.org/forums/cls55-amg...ew-site-2.html
http://www.dvbs.eu.org/video/Kw2UTP0...550-HP-M3.html
This was a 13.xx second pass at 103.66 for the CLS and this car won. Watch the original vid and pause and zoom on the time.
You can also search this CLS forum for the above mentioned member.
I have no idea who the clown was that edited the original vid to show a 10.8 LOL, gotta edit the LACR sign to fool me

The CLS 55 could do a 10.8 at 128 just not at that track.
It would need be in perfect weather, with some monster mods. Stage 5 with an experienced driver
This goes back to the discussion about track elevation and the effects on HP.
It would take 800 hp to the wheels at LACR to possibly hit 128 mph at 10.8

Hard for me to believe the torque comes on as low an rpm as the 55Kompressor's too. Small motors don't make low end torque like that without forced induction like that from a SC.
Yes I know it's turbocharged ... which usually means some turbolag too and definitely not the kind of torque you induce from a supercharger.

You have ZERO clue as to where BMW 335i TQ/HP band lives or about proper TT Turbo applications for that matter, talk about living in a bubble. Open your eyes & close your mouth/keyboard. You're mistakenly comparing the high revving N/A M3 power band for I-6 TT 335i.
335i TQ band comes in even sooner than your precious SC'er, as well as stays in peak tq band longer. IE can come in @ 2000-5500+RPM's
The 55 Kompressor peak TQ arrives @ 2500-5000+ You're in need of serious remedial TT/Supercharger info...

I would've let it go but your posts come off as "Mr. Know it all!" when clearly you're extremely confused, yet disseminate the info as credible fact makes your tech posts
laughing stock.As far as the CLS55 hitting 10.80, highly modded MUCH LIGHTER E55's have been trying for years & left w/basement 11's the ONLY current E55's in 10's are on 100-120+ wet shot's of NOS. Point being the added weight of CLS55 seperates it from this goal unless running Bottle + stg 5, it's impossible off NOS unless MAJOR weight reduction IE Stripped interior & Dymags was done plus stg 5 etc..

Sorry I got under your skin so bad Ricker ... but this just seems desperate.
You can take whatever you want I've posted out of context all you like.
Just remember ... no one started ad hominem attacks except you.

No not at all, it was this blowhard attempt @ discrediting the 335i J3 vs CLS55 races due to your Superior intelect/technical skills

That was LACR in palmdale. I remember the horrible elevation. I don't miss it... The white M3 is a heavily modified M3 with a supercharger. I don't remember what it ran but the trap speed sounds about right.

One thing is true in the video the CLS 63 dispatched the M3, unfortunately that M3 failed to hook up , spinning badly and ran i a 14.14, you can watch the original vid and freeze the scoreboard, listen closely to the announcer , he says both times.
As frar as any M3 hitting 11.2 , maybe but not against this CLS, it was a good pass for a 63 at Palmdale and a terrible pass for the M3(in the video)

No way in hell does the CLS hit 10.8 at that track.
It would have be over 600hp, carbon fibered every piece of body panel, race seats, carbon fiber wheels and even then that would be a stretch.

Hehe, what a tool. I have a bad habit of watching the timer on the video and subtracting when the race starts from when it ends and that is nowhere near a 10s pass. Like Josh said you can hear the announcer call out the time too. Watching drag racing makes me itch to get back out to the track
