'08 CL600 12.10 @116.80 MPH
I posted this on the non AMG CL forum but since some of you gave me the advice to get the 600 vs the 63, I wanted to share my times and a big THANK YOU!! for helping make the decision. I would rather the 65 instead but my wife and kids insist on heat and electric during the winter months!

"Had a fun day at Island Dragway yesterday! Just wondered what times that the car could run stock. I hope to Dyno the car on Wednesday and if all goes well I should have numbers by the evening. If so, I will post them as well".
PS. Can anyone tell me how to put the 08 CL600 into dyno mode?
Thanks!

The running conditions were extremely cohesive Island Dragway Great Meadow NJ on Nov 2, 2008 @ aprox time 4:03pm DA was Negative-987 feet
48.9 F
33%
30.52 in
257ft Above Sea Level
Corrected @ Sea Level
was basically the same Uncorrected ET 12.10 @ 116.8 mph Corrected ET 12.13 @ 116.56 mph
Now the fun stuff drop that 60ft down to 1.70 & you'd be around 11.8x
Also your 1/8 mile trap is healthy for stock @ 91.11 mph....
Please try some 100-104 octane GAS & re-run seems like you already know how to launch but the extra octane really helps Turbo's (drive the car @ least 35-40 miles w/high octane before run), I'm betting under similar conditions w/addition of race fuel you could hit 11.80-11.90 @ 118 mph
Take that CL600 out to Atco ONLY 33 ft above sea level...
Another NOTE: the new 2008 is increased in overall length & has many new features over the outgoing CL600 215 which weigh about 4600-4700lbs
your new 2008 CL600 216 Curb Weight 4,895 lbs.
unbleviable that tank is moving!

No, I am still looking for wheels.
I was really surprised how well the stock tires did!
BTW- I saw your CL65 on eBay. Awsome car Jody!
Thanks again for your input and advice!

2015 MERCEDES ML63-AMG
The ESP was on and the car bogged on the 12.1 run!
Just one more fact that hasn't been mentioned. When this run was made, Craig, the driver told me he had the ESP on. The car actually bogged!
I believe, that with it off and feathering the gas pedal, he could have easily gone into the 11's!!
