Some of you may have seen this already, but it looks like one of our fellow MB World M112'ers hit that beautiful number.

Okay, now the real topic; who's going to be the first C32? I know it's a big world and someone may have done it by now, but they aren't on this forum (their loss). So as far as I'm concerned, they don't count. Also, I know there is twin turbo / supercharged C32 that is capable, but to my knowledge, it's never actually been run down the quarter. With all of the new parts recently released, and the cooler air upon us, someone's got to be getting close. I'm hoping to see a no NO2 11 second run from someone soon. I know a couple SRT6's have done it, but they are at least 300 pounds lighter than us. That's why this SLK32 is a ray of hope; I believe they only under weigh us by about 150 lbs.

Holy Toledo! The R170 platform should be a little quicker than ours, but come on.

His is running ~10 MPH faster than mine at the 1/8th marker. Wow, that’s some serious thrust.

I have a feeling that time is close, if we have been planning correctly. I will let you know on the 19th after track day. (both engine only and nos runs)

WOW! Very nice #'s... I bet some cars on the track/street are totally awestruck when they get burned by a smaller MBZ like an SLK32.

here's why "kuhmo Ecstar 70A R-Compound" and "Shell W-Power" (i think that's 100 octane) and "Kleemann LSD"

also look at his OZ ultraleggeras 18lbs per wheel.

all makes a great package to go fast

I think we can be in the mid-low 12s with these stuff, but no breaking 12s.

SLK32 is 1490KG , SRT6 Coupe is 1506KG (about 30 pounds heavier than SLK32) and SRT6 Roadster is some pounds heavier than SRT6 Coupe...

Stupid question but if I take everything out of the C32 and put 2 racing carbon fiber seats with 400hp Would it be possible to loose 200Kg from the c32?

Would it be possible to get close to the 11s?

I love this pic! the frnts are nearly off the ground!!
& damn! 93mph @ the 1/8 mile that car is putting down some impressive power! On the light SLK32 platform I'm guessing North of 400 @ the wheels
