Thanks... but my car is putting down 441 rwhp putting my crank hp at 530-540. A stock e55 puts down around 380 rwhp, right? Quarter mile times and trap speeds have alot to do with the driver, traction, elevation, air quality and weather.

The best I've seen a e55 run in Vegas was 12.7 ... most of them put up 12.9 - 13.1

Dude - stock SL65 and CL65 only post 12.4-12.5 passes in Vegas

And, there's a huge difference between a 12.9 and an 11.9
