2005 cl65/28k miles
mods-
k&n filters
stg 2 speedriven ecu
3'' turbo back exhaust,200 cell cats,burns mufflers
5 gal ice resovoir in trunk
91/100 mix
245/18 mt dr's

temp 70-73 deg/ +3225-3500 DA

1st run:1.67/7.18@99.8/11.13@124.7
2nd run:1.73/7.20@100.5/11.13@125.3
3rd run: spun bad! 11.5@124
4th run: 1.68/7.16@100.3/11.10@125.0

tires at 18psi- all launches at 1100-1200rpm

finally got my 60fts down to the high 1.6x which is all i could ask for out of this heavy beast. the car i think had an 11.0 tonite, but i was asked to leave.
with temps dropping another 20 degrees and and the da dropping to +1500, i think i have a shot at the 10s here in vegas this winter. hopefully i will have my stg 3 100 octane tune, speedriven intercoolers/cold air kit & tcu for consistant high 10 sec runs

Those are great times for that horrible density altitude. 10's will be yours with some good weather or a sea level track!

Awesome run! I think I saw your car at the Eurocharge dyno day back in March, sounded amazing.

this was my 11.13@125(1.73 60ft) run against an audi s4 running 13.6@102. he was the one making all the noise.

if my 60ft was the same as the 1st and last run(1.67-1.68) this should have been an 11.0 run

DA on this run was +3450
