ran a CL63 on the highway with my 07 CL600
Ok, back to mud slinging...

Once you read through the B.S. It makes all tracks on the same playing field.
Nhra does this for all stock and superstock classes. It's called an index. The index is used so racers across the US have a number that is given for there class and takes out factors like Weather , Altitude , Air Density. It's alot for some on this board to swallow
. But the NHRA has done it for all of Thirty some years. But what do they know.

Question for the 63 owners, whats up with all the quarter mile times posted with corrected numbers (as your sig) I have seen of late? I understand what corrected times mean but why post them, I never saw an E55 owner post a corrected time slip or 600 owner or a 65 owner. Or maybe I just wasnt looking that hard, my bad if I missed them.
I guess if my 55 ran an 11.79 I would just post that time not change to adjust it since "it is what it is" right? Can you truly guarantee that your run with adjustments would actually be the corrected time? Is the formula guaranteed? I need more track training I guess

Thanks Robert it does put things into perspective doesnt it.
) and I have literally stacks upon stacks of timeslips. But no you decided to fire off at the mouth and claim that my records are false. Did you see anyone back you up, did you see anyone jump on your bandwagon? No. The reason for that is because alot of the members here know me, and the last 2 track outings have been private track events held by two MBWorld members where I set records at each outing. Maybe you can see why I shrug you off and dont feel a need to prove anything to you, nor anyone for that matter. I run for shear fun, and yes I have a little competitive streak in me. ET's mean nothing to me as its a factor of many variables, I like MPH, and a high one at that as its the best representation of your HP and how the car runs in the "real world" The track is not the real world, its a test bed for knowing what your car is capable of, so that when X car rolls up next to you on the street you will know what you can handle. Half of the cars that you guys claim "beating" will hand you your *** and then some on the street. OK im done for the day....OH heres my "photoshoped/fake" timeslips from last night, temps killed me as evident in the MPH, i got kicked off of the track after the last run. Track prep was amazing for this track, look at the 60 on the last run
Maybe if i "correct" it I ran a 10
I said it was not the WORLDS largest displacement engine. It may have the most power in a NA V8 but the AMG 63 is not the largest displacement engine. Do you know the definition of displacement? I assume not because you use it incorrectly and then back-up your ignorance in a quote from AMG that states, Yes, AMG is correct. The 63 engine it is the most powerful naturally aspirated production V8 but it does NOT have the largest displacement engine as you said.
Displacement refers to the SIZE of the engine and not the output. The number of liters an engine has is its displacement. The 2007 Z06 engine has a displacement of 7.0L but an E63 has a displacement of 6.2L. What engine has the largest displacement of those two engines? The Z06 has the largest displacement V8 engine when you compare the two.
HP refers to the power an engine makes and it's a derivived from a formula that converts torque and RPM into a number. RPM * torque/5252 = that number.......it's called horsepower and not displacement. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE NOW?
Now let's talk about drag racing. One car runs a 1/4 mile in 12.4 @ 115 mph. The other runs the 1/4 mile in 12.6 @111. Which car is quicker and what car is faster? The car that ran the 12.4 @ 115 is quicker and faster than the one that runs a 111 mph and a 12.6 ET. UNDERSTAND? The quicker/faster car may not always be the one that crossed the finish line first, see reaction times.
If the cars were running the same race and the driver with the slower trap speed and ET beat the car with the faster ET and trap speed, it would mean that the other guy was asleep at the light. Yes, the slower car may have won the race but it does not mean he has the quicker/faster car; rather, it means he was the better driver with a better reaction time. Understand?
The Best of Mercedes & AMG

Great runs JAY!!! I am gonna do the correction for your high temps.
It was never 110 degrees on June 8th.
The temp was 89
Here is your middle slip
The closest weather results for 06/08/2007 at 07:15 pm
Time recorded 7:09 PM
Temperature °F 84.2
Dew Point °F 80.6
Altimeter Setting 29.88 in Mercury
Density Altitude: 2425.8 feet
Track Elelvation: 250 feet
UnCorrected ET:
11.45 (sec) @ 121.17 (MPH)
Corrected ET to Sea Level:
11.123 (sec) @ 124.813 (MPH)
Because your car is TT you would need to do one more calc.
We must now take a .50 factor to the DA to take out the forced induction benefit of your car.
But you are correct the DA was bad 2400 feet. yikes.
Ours is usually above 5000 so not bad but likely terrible for this track. You had some incredible runs.
11.27@123 would be your corrected time for the middle slip. This would take the high temp away and bad air and also account for your TT
at one point i was with you, now u have completely lost it, whats was once funny is now sad, truly. Correcting my time slip, man have you lost it, i have never nor would ever correct a timeslip, nor do I need your google educated tirade to me on DA. I never claimed my benz was the fastest at anything except that claim in my sig, so be careful putting words into my mouth. The only one making an as* out of themselves is you, ever ask yourself why countless people think you are nuts about this

keep it upYou obviously are not as serious about this as you claim. If I spent money on mods in order to be as accurate as possible I would take weather out of the equation everytime. Too lazy to do the computations? It simply provides critical information to see how your car performs under SAE conditions. I dont have to be careful the posts speak for themselves, plenty of people I have helped and plenty have helped me including yourself . Let go of the EGO man, you are a skilled driver and have an incredible machine. Just because you have been doing it longer does not mean you know everything. Thanks for all your help , although I do not share your opinions and have my own free will I still respect yours. Dont make fun of me or the approach of millions of drag racers, everyone I know and yes they have 20 plus years MORE EXPERIENCE than you plus they are NICE. Uses SAE corrections. 100% of the drivers carry devices that do the correction right at the track. Many of the cars can adjust the way they deliver fuel and air to the engine based on the calcs. They are absolutely CRITICAL .Just because you do not do it doesnt make the people that do idiots!
Who are u to tell me what I am and am not serious about, you throw me for a loop sometimes with these comment and you expect me not to react to you? Grow up!
I know you do! Ok Jay I sincerely apologize to you, I really appreciate and I am not being an *** or sarcastic. I am just confused as to why you think making the corrections is silly? I never intended to call you out nor to blasphamy your posts, experience. I am sorry for what has transpired here. I am being egotistical as well, and I am dropping this forever. I love my car and you can hate it thats completely fine! I do appreciate all your help and hope we can move forward.

Remeber that beer commercial "I love ya man"
You just made me tear up ****
Sam feels like sh** as well. I would love to meet you and the California crew will take care of you man. Jay once again , you are showing alot of class here and it sadly MAKES my day! Will you be bringing the beast out or driving some of the EuroElite cars? We are going to rent a track this fall and hopefully all the fastests beasts will be avail.
Peace,
Josh

Never once have I seen ANYONE list it on there sig, as if you really ran that time & trap!
It makes total sense w/your explanation to compare it to the East Coast tracks, but this should be kept for your own private personal records, not bragging rights. To display it, & CLAIM it, as you & others copying you here do is out & out LAME, there are far to many variables to align for those calculations to come to fruition, & you know it! But you are so desperate to show your 63 is in the same league as the 55k's (especially E55k) You found this little loophole & it's getting really OLD
Drop it guy, the 63 doesn't have forced induction, none of us in the know expect it to perform as good or better than the Kompressor or Bi-Turbo Models
ok..Maybe EVEN against the CLS55 but I believe that is due to Mercedes De-tuning that model, as they previously tried to do to the E55k's& for you to start bragging on about your incredible 60' perf is another fallacy, try using the stock tires or brand your car came with & see if you can replicate your sub 1.70 60'
The E55k's you keep comparing your 63 to had STOCK CONTI's ON!
Not high perf Michelin Cups etc..
Lastly for you to claim victory over other cars that run a higher trap and lower ET than you because you passed the finish line 1st? Makes ZERO sense at all, you've plum lost it!
Oh well continue in Dreamland...
