Your crazy. Such a beautiful car in its stock form. I am sure it will be sick though with the blower.

Probably switching over to a full drag slick. Looking forward to MIR next month. Can't wait to see you car run, yours is gonna be a runner too.
Are you still running a 2.9L? My car will trap nowhere near that. Hopefully more than that in the 1/4 though haha. If you're up for it I will try taking yours down the track
At the end of the day if I can get a 9 second slip out of my lil hoopty I will be satisfiedMBWorld Fanatic!

You will go 9's, I am sure of it. I am shooting for something a little quicker. I have one test and tune before MIR, have to figure out tire situation and a final shakedown, if everything is good I am headed east to MIR to set a record that hopefulky will never be touched then move on to the 5.5tt platform. I told Weistec to pull out all the stops and sky is the limit with a very large budget and they have delivered. I just can not believe more videos of testing this summer have not surfaced, there are a couple out there but not posted by us. Car is an absolute monster.

Sneaky! It's definitely not a 2.9L with those traps unless you have like a 500+ shot of nitrous on it Originally Posted by jrcart

No nitrous..no need for nitrous. Car is a monster and even my claimed HP in my sig is understated. Until I make a clean, solid pass I am not posting any times or slips dyno charts of details. Weistec can post the details on the motor, but I think they want a clean pass before any chest pounding as well. Keeping my fingers crossed that MIR is the place that all the peices will finally come together. Last time out everything was awesome, put down an incredible 60ft but broke traction at 330ft. Then next pass broke a line on the trans cooler and ended our day. Hoping for a nice cold day at MIR like my last visit out here a few years ago.Originally Posted by blackbenzz

Spoke with Earl his morning, he is planning on attending the event. He is working out the logistics to get his CLK from Weistec out to MIR. Difficult to find carriers the first or second week of November becuase nearly every carrier is booked getting cars out of SEMA.Originally Posted by Dads C63

well considering weistec uses whipple as the base blower+ all there engineering/bracketry/mounting/intake/tune etc...
you've got the 2.3L stage 1/2, 3.0L stage 3, and 5.0L JRCART spec. In order to run it you need aluminum rods, dual magnetos, mechanical fuel pumps with lines the size of water hoses and some nitro-meth.
I feel your pain, SLS just doesnt feel impressive compared to even a stage 2 weistec c63, probably a stage 1 but i have no factual proof of the later.

SEMA is making transporters difficult to get timing wise so might take u up on offer.

If I can't get a transport company Timing wise it would have to be the last week of October. ...first pit stop is alway a day or two in Vegas just to get rested before driving

Same here! Red Start/Stop button, right? I was the white C Coupe in the beginner group, followed by JumpinJim in his Silver SL63. I think you and I chatted for 10 minutes and I never even asked if you were an active member here. LOL
There was plenty of passin going on that day, though I doubt we'll ever see the Ferrari guys publish theirs, because it would be unheard of for two Ferrari's to get passed at the same time by a lowly C63. Guess I'll have to take care of that
Not Red! Carbon fiber! lol It saves 1/4th of 1/5th of 1/6th of an ounce. Ha-ha. It was fun out there. If you (or I) hear of an event at ECR we should go. I like how they INSIST novices have an in car instructor. Sure MSR allowed wild wild west passing on a person's first time out but in car instructor and controlled passing is cool too. ECR has higher speeds and some tricky parts so it all pays off. Freeballin' at ECR on day 1 is not a good idea.Same here! Red Start/Stop button, right?

I would also like to join you in your proud display of passing two Ferrari's (nice vid) when on the back straight away I held the line better than the Audi and passed low then with better exit speed I floored it and passed a Ferrari. $250k - $75k = we win all around.
I meant to meet JumpinJim, as I read his posts about going out to the local drag strips, but spaced that out. We ALL should do the next ECR event.

Nice! Maybe the 3 fastest CLK's on the same track on the same day Originally Posted by ecampbell

I actually think there will be several cars in the 9s that day. History in the making!

Im trying to!
Full bolt on C63 AMG. Headers, filters, Agency power catback and MHP tune. Nitto 555r on the rear. 7.8 in the 1/8. Not to bad but i expected a bit lower to be honest. What times should i be running ? I was also using launch control.
C63 7.8 is the video link. Someone at the track phone recorded it.
