Lol to be fair they are high performance all seasons. Potenza 960 AS.
I think 90 degree temps will slow you down once the heat soak sits in. Next time you go to the track keep your dash displaying the engine temps and see where they stay for most of the time. I notice a difference in performance in my car from day time to night, so 50-90 degree will take a toll.
Here is a 50-120mph run on the highway at night. Pulls amazing on a chilly night.

Ahhh...your location could explain a lot super-amg! I guess that's the price you might have to pay to live in such a beautiful country!
What date and time was the time slip from? I'd bet that if you plug in your weather data, if you can find it, into a DA converter (look in the tools section of Dragtimes.com), that you'll have some real numbers to compare. Temperature, barometric pressure and humidity could make up the difference between your times and raf12690s!

Not a true AMG, but here goes. Some of you might enjoy seeing your engine kicking *** in another species.

Lol no juice yet! I've toyed with the idea, but it'll only be as a last resort...when I get the new battery, I'll likely relocate to the trunk, which would leave a great spot for this up front 
http://www.nitrousexpress.com/15004-...-methanol.html
If I do go this route, I don't think I'd go for more than a 30-50 shot though. Waiting to see how the 2 Weistec N/A 55 projects pan out first, then we'll see
My goal for this fall is 11's with no FI and no nitrous, fingers crossed!

I'd rather be running 13.9's @ 115. Than 12.9s at the trap I did. lol

Wow, I didn't realize those were so fast. Sounds like you're already driving a 11 second car with that high of a trap speed. I think what's keeping you out of the 11 second club is your 60 foot. If you can get it down to a 1.75, I think you'll be in the 11's.
1.82 - 1.75 = .07
.07 x 2 = .14
12.105 - .14 = 11.96
Best ET: 12.105 @ 115.56 with a 1.824 60'
Best trap speed of the day 115.75

Todays best time was 12.314

Not bad, but not full potential
Slick tyres and more fuel (little lean)...

Sweet man! 180.03kph= 113.73mph trap! Who knows...when you get that AFR issue figured out you might be the first c32 into the 11s! I need a dyne tune before I go back to the strip. Unfortunately I'm moving back to Florida in a couple weeks, and I doubt I'll get many fair temperature track days. Congratz once again on your times!

AFR issue and better tyres, 60ft was very difficult with street tyres.
