lets set the record straight. i have never put down the c32. simply stated the facts. the slk32 and the srt-6 is faster. plain and simple. the records show it.

you didn't like it when i said the slk32 would destroy a c32. considering the top 4 times of the slk32 and the top 20 times of the srt-6 are ALL FASTER than the very fastest c32 i would call it destroy. you may not like it but its the published and proven facts.

you asked for consistency. you have 4 cars running 11.7 or less. thats consistent. mr photoman with a c3 tune and meth runs consistant 11.7's . he has the slips to prove it.
what you are saying above is that if you aren't running a 11.5 it isn't a mid 11. so a 11.6 isn't mid 11? or a 11.4? with 2 cars running 11.3 or better and 2 cars running 11.7 i would call that a mid 11 consistently. you don't.

Now, don't you guys get all worked up about the step child of MB/Chrysler. They run low 13's stock, mid 12's with a cold air intake, low 12's with a pulley, and will break the 11's with the right tune and tires. Mid 11's are not consistant yet, but a few are getting there. The rest will follow in do time. My coupe weighs in at 3300lbs/ the roadster is 3450....hope this helps clear it up a little....

when i referred to getting your ride faster i was referring to the c32 in general but if you want specifics, look at your sig. you have every mod possible from lsd to the largest pulley headers to tunes and so on. yet the best you can manage is a 12.4? i think that speaks volumes as to the ability of the c32 vs the other amg's with the same driveline. see you at timmayfest!

I could've sworn that Jake (loungn14) mentioned about his old C32 ran high 11's before from one of his posts and that he was going to share the timeslips. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was in of the older threads.

I have seen Jake's old car first hand. It was hardly stock, but would put down the 11's. Jake would have to answer those questions though. Eurocharge is helping us all go faster, quicker with the same drive trane platforms. I like the slk's and will own one someday. Just about had a C for my wife until the deal fell through. The 2 XF's I own and play with, have made me repect AMG and I was already a fan of MB quality. We all share similar tastes which ever way we go. And I agree, we should be after the ricers, and those old "muscle cars" that I use to like....lol Talk to ya all later...hopefully at a "test and tune" somewhere...

LOVE the cars and someday hope to own a "real" Mercedes. BTW Ran 12.5 spinning through 1st & 2nd in my SRT6 coupe with a C3 pulley. Have a 192mm pulley (the biggest?) on my roadster. :zoom: |
I helped him install the needswings single CAI. Everything went good there. The supercharger is a lot more noticeable. The C32 still pulls a little on his SRT-6 even after intake. I'll post up a photograph later.

also much more space in their engine bay. allows for a much better flowing intake setup (see Needswings Dual Cold Air Intake) and quite larger intake manis.
that's in addition to less weight |
He now has Eurocharged Stage 2 ECU, CAI, ISO, and Supercooler... We got some runs in. C32 might have a slight pull still. Overall about dead even. I'm running as low as 13.4 at the track. If I can get traction better off the line maybe hit into 12.9's or 13 flat at 5500ft.

Does the altitude really kill power that badly? Most stock SRTs are in the low 13's, and some high 12 factory freaks have been noted. |

SRT-6 owner reports feeling the extra power to weight on my C32... :) He might see this, and I feel kind of bad mentioning, but it's a good laugh. First time driving my C32 the SRT-6 owner gets an 88MPH in 60MPH ticket... Thanks for driving that night man! :P

I know I am jumping into the fray a bit late here, but as a former Limited Crossfire owner myself (non-SRT), I have to just comment on the surprise expressed on the Crossfire's weight. Why oh why Chrysler/MB did you decide to make the SLK/Crossfire so heavy? With Limited 225hp MB Spec 3.2L V-6, the car was painfully sluggish at low speeds under all of that 3200 pounds, even with the 6-speed manual that my car had. Interestingly enough, the Crossfire pulls extremely strongly from 60-90 mph (power torque band weighted on the high-end) versus my C55, which has amazing grunt on the low-end and from a dig, but at highway speeds the C55 is out of its power band and you don't get the "pick-me up" I felt with the Crossfire.

Here we go again. Mid 11's as in 11.5? And consistency as in more than one car? Show me.

My Kleemann is the opposite. Could be due to the SC, BUT the low end grunt is NOT what the C32 is, BUT on a roll-on, the things a monster?? My C32 runs out of breath before the C55 does. |
Results from dragway last night. SRT-6 was able to pull off a 13.5 even. 13.6 was my best run last night. However, I did run a 13.45 few trips back.

I need to get over here more often. :)

Gee, I think there's more Crossfire owner posts in this thread than MB owners. LOL
I had to get in on the action... a little late though. Both the main arguments in this thread are right in their own ways. Yeah, modified Crossfire SRT-6's can run high to mid 11's consistently. But there are less than 10 of them doing it. So your likelihood of running into one is pretty slim. How do I know? Well, I keep track, because I'm closing in on them! :eek: As for the modded SRT-6 that is running mid-13's, that's either altitude, bad DA, or bad driving. A stock SRT-6 on street tires will run a 13.0 consistently, with good DA and a good driver. Then there's me: modded SRT-6, decent DA, and the best I can get is 12.5. So I must not be very good at it! :rolf: http://www.dragtimes.com/Chrysler-Cr...lip-18717.html |
He bought 178MM and custom needswings manifolds... Not installed yet. :)
