Several 123 Coupes. A very nice 88,560,SEC,AMG EURO. An 89 Lamborghini Countach Anniversary Edition
Well I have trouble keeping the front wheels on the ground..
1970 Chevy Nova
750HP Big Block Chevy
Modified Powerglide Trans
Mickey Thompson, 31X12.5 Tires.
Lotta other goodies, Naturally Aspirated (No Blower, No Nitrous, etc.)
It was about 65 degrees that day, in very late September.
Before that the car had run a best of a 9.80, on the same track, with same conditions. This was the second of 5 runs I got in on this particular day.
The car generally had run the 9.80 area, all season prior to this day, and the newest mods I'd made. This year, I hope to see high 8's before the season ends. I am in the process now, of making some mods to the trans, and rear suspension, so I should stay consistently in the mid/low, 9.60's for now, 'til new mods are made.

Thanks dude. We need to try this again in the 30-40 degree weather.
My 5th and last run was 13.5 @ 105... car was extremely hot and reading 93+ F.
For the pulley, I'm ready when you are... hoping to get close to +50 hp with just the renntech bagde on.

yeah, i noticed that all of my cooling mods are definitely working, because my trap speed kept going up even in the heat instead of getting heat soaked like your car did...the stock system is just inefficient...very curious to see what your car will do with the pulley on there...

Just went to the track for the first time for the C55, have been to the track in other cars.
1. 14.6@97mph
2. Best 60ft@2.33
3. Don't have paper with me so no Temp's
4. Stock C55
I could not launch the car for **** and tried brake lauching and just gasing it with out brake launching. In Sport mode and in 1st gear at start. Before you guys start lauging this was at Bandimere and above 6000ft. I did beat a mustange 4.6L, newer mustang Mach I not sure what that is and a modded WRX. I figure I'd at least break in the high 13's but not even close. Every race I got walked from the start then I reeled them in and passed them at the very end. The other cars ran 14.8 to 15 flat.
