Cl500 track time last night!

So I'm new on the forum, I had to make an account after my fun at the track last night. I know these cars aren't rocket ships but I must say, after owning several high horsepower cars, I was still very impressed with my cl500.

I purchased the car 3 weeks ago, bone stock with 180,000 miles. The only things I've done to the car is straight pipe from the cats back, adjustable links, wheels and tires, and all new fluids and filters along with a few repairs. Aside from straight pipes, the car is mechanically 100 percent stock. Rear tires are 295/35/18 Bridgestones.

Here's my timeslip! 14.14 @98mph



And the car

I had a 04 cl500, and tested it at Norwalk about 9 yrs ago. Warm summer day, 14.3 at 97 mph, so yours and mine tested about the same, enjoy your car.
