It is listed under the video clip in the info section as his best time. There were other members from the 202 section to verify and that was on street tires.
12.93 @ 103 w202 C55

Thought I heard 13.1 at 101?? Regardless, I haven't seen a 12 sec run in a conversion.

[QUOTE=Newzchspy;4500065]I stand corrected. I swore he was on streets. Either way. Thats still damn fast for a swapped 202.

[QUOTE=austinholloman;4500091]13.1 at 101 is a good run Austin!!! Was wondering HOW does ONE mod a LSD. Other than shimming, there's not much to be done on one?? I think he meant running a Quaife??

No there is a huge thread how he took the 16v 190e LSD internals and put them inside a 300ce pumpkin. Only problem is, finding those older parts to source. Worked great for him until he SCed it and chewed it up.

The #s just keep getting better and better? Time slip??? You're saying that he ran almost as fast as Mike (Hooley did) in his C55 Sc'd (which holds the all time C55 record). Unless I see some time-slips, I am not buying any of it.

For a guy thats been around awhile, searching wouldnt hurt. He chewed his LSD mod by SCing the 5.4 and it couldnt hang with it. The 12.8 on an NA 5.4 with LSD and 3" exhaust is the real deal. The 11's was a guess back to what he has started (read it months ago) could have been off a few give or take. Thats not the point anyway.

I do not believe there are any factory C55's in the USA, but I could be wrong. There may be 1 or 2 converted examples, but I doubt it.
Some images of the W210 E60, although I do not believe this lip is factory:

Attached is the W202 C55 that circled the internet a few years back. Also has an orange and black interior.

C32, 911 SC
In fact I really think it was austin who felt the need to justify his C43 purchase over C32 ALL the fudging time. No one cares that C32 is a "tuner" car and not old school german muscle car like he stated or that the SC whine is so annoying,
etc

What I meant to say was there I doubt there are any factory cars in the USA. I understand there are several conversions.

etcBut to drop one of these 5.4l motors in these cars(W202 C43) just transforms these cars into animals. Especially on the topend as I have shown to M5's,modded SRT8's, ISF's and the like.

I like the C32 alot. Its a nice tuner car. I dont know why Austin, if he did, felt the nd to justify purchasing it over a C32. Guess just preference. If Ihad the $ at the time I perhaps would have gone C32. I feel I did the next best thing though.

I had the money to buy an 06 C55 if I wanted it, I just love the old school looks and style. I don't know why that is so weird. Ive stated time and time again the C32 is a great car. It just wasn't for me, not because I couldn't afford it.. We are talking about a matter of 6k more than a C43 plus or minus, not really a wallet breaker. I bought the car I own because I love it and I can't wait to see the looks on peoples faces in a year(5.4 drop in) when an IS-F, E9x M3, M1, you name it, try and pull away from me on the highway. Sleepers are fun to me. These are all just MY options. Anything else I say about to the C32 and m just poking fun at you guys. Don't take it to heart.
