Seeing as though the first real DP was just released, It'll take some time for folks to order, receive, and install them. But at least now the option is on the table...things should start getting really fun!

It appears that the famous Mr. FikseGTS has already taken his CLA45 to the dragstrip.

That's a pretty crappy 60ft time for AWD. My old Cobra, which was RWD, I could pull under 2s on street tires.

I'm guessing that was without race start?

I'm really interested in more 1/4mile times and dyno numbers as well.

12.1 ecu tune 1/4mile will really make me lean towards the CLA 45 over the new C class.

Much better than the 13+

Fairly sure a bone-stock race-start launched A/CLA45 has been tested multiple times to hit 12.7s with 1.9s 60'.

Pretty incredible that a piggyback puts it almost into the 11s.

Even more incredible is the possibilities of a custom tuned map specific to your ECU is here now.

I shall be going back to the track in the next month or so now that the car has done over 7k. It was last run with 2k on the clock and Vbox figures on the road have shown a noticeable difference compared to what they were when I last ran it at the track. Fingers crossed for 11's if the conditions are good

Anyone has problem fitting helmet in? I sit too low to accommodate my helmet.

Do have some legroom left for adjustment. Does the baby AMG allow pedal extention? If not are there good aftermarket kits?

Thanks!
