Do a few 100km-200km runs too if you can't find a road for 1/4mile. That will be a good baseline to compare the MST intake. BTW, whats the weather/DA like when you did those runs?

I will definitely keep that in mind. That will probably be a good autobahn run. I need to check my DAs...That was the one thing I forgot.

Got a good 1/4 in today. I left the DCS on, by accident, but still turned out a 12.6 "valid" run.. That is stock (JB4 map 0). Car gets better every day.

Best runs stock.. 4.38 to 60, and 12.67 1/4... 60 run had the extra weight of my daughter and a full tank of gas. At least that is my excuse. I accidentally left DSC on during the 1/4.

Put the 20s on and do not like. The color combe reminds of the the early 2000s when folks wanted their wheels to match their car paint....Already for sale on the local forums here in Germany.

Just ordered the C43 Cab in the same colour, will match my GLC 43 colour wise. Need to wait until November this year for it to arrive in Australia.

What spacers did you use, H&R? If you have the part number to hand, that would be great, thanks.

I found yesterday I got the best times brake torquing around 2-2.2 K RPM - and getting the 1st increment on the boost gauge filled.
If you launch off boost you won't get a good time.
