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.

Super, do you have a heat exchanger? Definitely get one if you don't, you have to lower temps if you're in the DR. isolate the coolants too.

Yeah I feel you man. My family is from Puerto Rico. It is never cold up there except maybe in the mountains and you couldn't go fast there anyways. You should bring your car up north sometime.

I'm enjoying it up here while I can then it's back to south florida where heat soak will be my middle name.

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!

Pretty sure I have the OEM ones. Thinking about getting the Laser iridium and magnecore leads from NW. Just don't want to buy something if it's not the problem.

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

Here's some of the performance mods:

TTM Looped Fuel rail and 550cc Injectors
NW sheet metal manifolds
NW Single CAI
SL55 Fuel pump
Buckhead Imports Nitrous tune
Zex 75 shot
MT ET Streets


I've run 11.7's without nitrous.

Still need a retune for the intake and cams
When did this happen?

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!

If you get in the 11's that would be amazing. You still full weight, I forgot did you ever weigh your car? My CLK55 comes in at 3700lbs without me in it, full tank. I can't believe that your best ET MPH is 10mph higher than mine.

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

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

Dang that might be a new record on drag times...what where your trap speeds and 60 ft times? You should add your time to drag times if you have the slip, that might be a new record at least on drag times. I think Loungin was 12.3 also @115 or so.

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!

Thanks

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