Just a lil vid I made of me at track last night. Having a lil trouble hooking up.

Merc63

11.7 with stage 3??

Are you racing on mount everest, or what's the deal.

C63_SantaFe

Ya I kind of am. The track is around 5000ft and the DA was around 7300. My best here is 11.4X @ 123

Merc63

Wowlol, 7300. And I thought I had it bad at 3000ish

Nice run! And wow that DA suckssss. Try a smaller wheel with a taller tire to hook up.

C63_SantaFe

Ya the DA is terrible out here. I am in the process of trying to find a wheel tire setup. Any suggestions?

blackbenzz

CCW if you want it to look good. CLK320 wheels if you just want something super light and cheap

ya i dont think people understand how hard it is to get one of these cars to hook up with the instant 500wtq off idle with the blower. dont feel too bad, our's spins its *** off and runs an 11.8 @ 127-8mph on a good day. stage 2 though and 500ft. nitto nt05r's on 19" wheels are a waste of time. just an fyi.

question about the clk wheels - will a 17" fit with the stock amg caliper in the back? or do you only have to downgrade to the c300 rear brakes with 16"s?

Merc63

17s fit.


Get 17s with 275/40/17 hooiser dot drags, your traction issues will be gone. Mine dead hooks every time.

C63_SantaFe

I have been looking into these tires. I am in the process of getting some 17's now.

C63_SantaFe

What size and offset of 17's are you running?
