I get both there by wearing stilts and I put one leg through the sunroof of the M5 to work the pedals and put the top down on the SL to work it's pedals. I then use some string to operate the wheels. It's quite the sight to see really.

Yes fly2nite thats true of the MCT using clutch slip as a part of traction control exactly as you described. Theirs also the much more direct feeling of the MCT clutch compared to the slushiness/ soft feeling of the 7G and the MCT gives you those badass popping upshifts with much better rev matched downshifts. Since the clutch is a wet clutch in a "oil bath" that slipping its doing as part of traction control is over heating it even quicker. But its still possible even with TC off to get the car in limp mode by getting the engine oil temp high. Very poor design by AMG and im surprised they never did anything to fix it for future models since theyve been aware from the 2012 models.

It cost me about ~1,850 for both coolers with all associated brackets, lines, ducts etc. Than you have to figure in 5-8 hours of labor since you need to drain your trans oil and engine oil on top of the removing/ new install of coolers. Shops will have different labor rates and some are quicker/slower

Sounds good! I'll C (oh lord) you out there. What time is best to show up?

JumpinJim

We'll get there about 8:30. Bring $20 cash to race plus a few bucks if you want something to drink. We park in front of the concession stand at the far end of the stands.

Also, if you have a helmet, go ahead and bring it too. They used to not care, but last few times they asked. If you don't have one, they'll probably just tell you to bring one next time and go ahead and let you run. This is assuming you've never been, you may go all the time in which case, see ya there.

Thanks JumpinJim. Totally forgot to introduce myself at MSR - will do so tonight.

Fly also has this thing where he likes everyone to wear silly hats while at the dragstrip. I've seen him in a propeller beanie and a head crab hat. So if you have a goofy hat go ahead and wear it or he'll get bent out of shape. I think he does it to keep the locals away.

Does a big bald spot count? Next goofiest head wear after that would be a black leather cowboy hat - but that might seem way toooo local. lol
