Then god damn it post a 11 second quarter , so the people on that site know the car is no joke.

 

HAHAHA... I will but that's not going to happen until it cools down out here (october or november). 60 degree temps with good traction = 11 sec. 1/4 for me

 

Forget it! I'll just go ahead and represent myself! LOL :v

 

Hey Dragon, I will be in Vegas in NOV for the SEMA show. They normally have the track available for us for that week weather permitting and the prep is a full NHRA 1320 top fuel event prep. Its almost as good as what we run on during an event and its a thousand times better then what most non pros will ever run on. If they do it this year I am sure I could get you a few passes or if you like I bet I could find a certain PRO driver to give it a spin

 

Definitely!!!! I would be very appreciative if you can make that happen and I would be more than willing to let a pro driver (I'm guess that's you) make a pass in the car.

p.s. don't forget to vote for me :p - http://www.dragtimes.com/Mercedes-Be...slip-6424.html

 

I will call them up today and make sure its on for this year and get a spot then. I can normally find a pretty good number in most cars, driven every thing from my 13.05 C55 when it was stock to low 6 sec 200+mph Pro RWD cars. With your trap the car should go mid 11s.

Also if your interested I could most likely get a pass for you to the show, Its a industry only event but I normally end up with extra passes. If you have never been its a car lovers dream on of the biggest industry shows all year and the one were everyone brings there big hitters for the year.

 

Got my vote.

I will in for SEMA also, we could a small MB drag meet.

 

Vadim,

Will you have Stage IV by then? How much HP? That car of yours is already an absolute monster!

 

Cool... please keep me aprised. I agree it should go mid 11's with decent weather and a good driver LOL :p ... can't wait!

Am I interested... ABSOLUTELY!!! I'd love to go! I've never been to a SEMA show but I've heard it's off the charts.

A small MB meet would be awesome! I have a couple friends out here with MB's that would definitely show. Let's do it.

 

James: Stage IV will be new intercooler, ported kompressor housing, full-length headers and ported heads. I do not know if I will have time to have all of the pieces on the car by SEMA. I can not find any junk yards that have used heads available. I might have to use my own, and park the car for a couple weeks while the heads are being done.

To keep up I will need to be in low 400s, which I think with current boost level is possible.

Josh: Lets chat as we get closer to SEMA. If you want to go, go on www.sema.org and register now. It is only $15 now, vs. $40 after October 1st.

 

Sounds like it's going to be another amazing creation! Keep us posted! I will also be at SEMA this year. Hope to see you guys there.

 

there's also a drag strip at san diego's qualcomm stadium (where the chargers play)...but it only runs 1/8 mile track because of limited space. on the plus side...the weather is pretty cool out there...expecially at night...so you'll get a lot of nice cool dense air.

Without adding it up (to help prevent passing out) I would have to say close to 30k

 

*faints*

 

Dude... your probably catching up with your mods and can't be too far behind. :p

 

Don't remind me...i get migraines just thinking about it..

 

Dragon,

Nice modded sedan with the Kleeman kit. I'm getting the 550 Hp package installed on my new SLK55 on 9/12 .

I think your car is approx 260lbs lighter than an E55 (your curb weight should be about 3,830 lbs). Here is a site with your car specs if you are interested. You should be running about a 12.2 1/4 & trapping 117 mph (on average). This time/speed is on par with a 405 Hp Z06. I'm betting if you have more favorable conditions (not so dayam hot outside & a good launch, you will see high elevens at 120 mph). Hope this helps:

See ya,

Congratulations...I wish I had the ***** to ship my car to Colorado Springs.

 

any updates on any races or 1/4mile times?

 

did you have to cut or modify your rear bumper to fit the kleemann exhaust?

 

No... cutting the rear bumper was not required. Direct bolt-up.

Waiting until it cools off a little bit to run it again. Probably early November. It should be around 60 degrees at that time.
