Marco,do you hand these out to your passengers? If not I'll be sure to bring my own.
All kidding aside I'll return the favor and let you take a pass with me in my cutlass to let you see what a 1.2XX 60' time feels like (translates to about 1.8-1.9 seconds 0-60
.
Regarding the upgrades I spoke with Marchin and the guys from Kleemann and I'm debating on which tune to go with. SpeeDriven, Kleemann and Eurocharged are tops on the list. Before I go and add more power I need to see how the car responds to a good set of street tires, I've got those on order now (I decided on a set of Bridgestone S-04 Pole Position tires in the stock 19" size). For the track I'll be using MT ET Drag Radials.
Knowing how easy it is to light this car up I'm thinking that a Kleemann LSD may be the first thing I do. Every video I see from these cars at the track has some bit of tire spin, unless they have some sort of locking diffrential. I know from experience, a few slips of the tire are hard to detect to the casual drag racer but they cost you a significant amount in the 60'.

ok thanks. I'm trying to see what cl65 would run on 91 octane tune since that's only what we have here. I could throw some 100 octane gas from the track in there but not sure if that would make a big difference? What do you think?

Octane ratings vary across the country depending on need. For example, an engine at 10.5:1 compression may need 93 octane here in Milwaukee but go to high altitude in colorado and you can run 11.5:1 or 12:1 compression on 93.
