You should come out the weekend of 9/30 (friday) that way we can hit the LVMS drag strip. The have an open Test&Tune night on 9/30 (friday). We can video a couple runs.... should be a blast!

Yeap... Props to Bennyz... he was definitely the first on this board to s/c the C55. What's so cool is that Bennyz is Renntech and I'm Kleemann!

Now... I was the first on here to go with the Kleemann setup

JamE55 --- you should definitely roll up here with Bennyz, but drive your car... I want to see it!
I guess I'll have to join too. I can video all this maddness. Hey Dragon thanks for the ride yesterday your car is unbelievable. I hope Kleemann is planning to fix your exhaust tip.

Anyway, Bennyz I haven't seen your car yet, but Dragon's has so much power it is scary. Definitely not to be underestimated. Kleemann surely built a fine machine. This race none the less will be the event of the year.

Yeah I'd be down for that. Has a date been decided yet? We have to watch our speed, because the highway patrol are sneaky little *******s and were pulling people over right and left when I was coming back yesterday.

I never uderestimate anyone! I just think that most people here believe that Kleemann has already won this race...I know that the car is a beast...but
don't forget about the RENNtech engine... something that should also not be underestimated...should be a fine race

So far think my schedule is open unless something comes up but no date has been decided yet from Benny. So i'm just waiting for this response. But yes you are right. I came home monday afternoon and CHP's are just crazy. So definitely no high speed runs on this trip until we get down to vegas...

Mine runs 12.40 @ 117mph, so if you pulled 2+ car lengths from a roll, you're probably trapping in the 120mph range at least.

I can't wait for this matchup!
Hell, I can't wait to just see the car. I am going to have to evo-ize my 32 just to stay bus lengths behind.

Hey Josh are we still on for this Friday? Do you have any extra hellmets? I would love to be a passenger for one ride and maybe record some in-car footage.

Maybe, just maybe I can break into the 13'. Dam heat + elevation

I definitely don't think kleemann has already won the race and I haven't forgot about renntech. I'm planning on getting renntech headers and ecu. I was just waiting to hear back from you no it to make sure no problems were created by them. Personally I think this race will come down to the driver, so multiple runs I'd say is a must.

Anyway, after you get your car back and if you have anytime let me know I'd love to check it out. I'm sure James would too.

Raw,

I'll keep you posted too once Benny sets the date or maybe he can both let us know. Can't wait for this whole Kleemann vs RennTech thing to happen.

As soon as I get back I will let you guys know and we'll meet up for sure!

It was my pleasure! You're a real cool guy and it was very nice to met you and your fiance. Besides flooring it from a dead stop, we didn't really even get on the car on that little drag. Maybe I should take some pressure out of my rear tires so they hookup a little better... even with the three of us in the car (extra weight) those damn tires didn't stop spinning until we got up to about 30 mph... HAHA.

Like I said before... let me know if you guys need rooms when you come out, I can hook it up.

BTW - I'm glad this thread returned to being fun and exciting to read.
