Haha, its not 15.6. 13.6 sounds right. Mercedes doesn't have official quarter mile times.

my 60' kinda sucked at 2.013, most of the cars there were putting down 1.65's - 1.9's ... but had a mid ranged trap speed.

Its funny to me how many people came over and were like...what the hell is that thing? Cant tell you how many folks thought it was a hopped up C230 Kompressor.

The AWD AMS and Busch Evo VIII's and few of the suped up STI's at that event were putting down mid 11's @ 126+ ... crazy fast

I need someone that is better at launching to take it for a spin, i see lots of people on this board pull 12's out of the C32, just havent been able to breach it.[/

Ease into the gas, modulating according to how much traction you have.

my best 60' is 1.84s (i also have the renntech chip and pulley). this is what i did:

brake start at 1500rpm's. as you ease off the brake pedal, ease into the throttle. don't floor the car until you feel that your car has enough traction; and when you floor it, don't smash the pedal, but do it smoothly to maintain the most traction.

hope this helps.
