Rebellion Automotive CLA45 AMG 1/4 Mile 12.30@114.1mph

Hey Guys,

Finally had a client stateside lay down some track time figures for us in the CLA45 AMG...

The car is simply running our S1v2 kit and it was his first outing at the track in the CLA45. Stock everything else even 37psi in the tires!

12.30 is a good time and the Terminal at 114.1mph is great!

Looking forward to getting some more of you guys out there hitting the strips...

(We have so few here in the UK..lol)

60' times are in my honest opinion mediocre considering that the car has AWD and launch control. The ET is fine and the trap is fine. A 1.8 sec 60' would put this car in a flat 12 sec. As far is the traps, I think that is about as much as this car would yield. This is in par with what the Audi TT RS are putting.

I would say that this car would easily do a flat 12 and 115mph in colder weather and lower tire pressure

I like how the right car is sandbagging. From the 60' and such, I'm guessing he could run 10's. Prob doesn't have the requisite track safety stuff like cage/helmet/etc. for running 10s.

Sand bagging uh? 10's? You are so far off that only you believe what you said. Helmet is required below 13.99 sec. This car is close to its limits, perhaps one MPH extra and 2 tenths quicker, that is about it. Ask Rebellion and they will tell you. They know and everyone knows that this car with a tune is a low 12 sec to very high 11 sec(in the best of all circumstances, ie: elevation, traction, temp), no one believes that a CLA 45 with a tune can run 10 sec 1/4 miles except you.

He was talking about the low 10 second car in the right lane and he's right.

No doubt. It was a very good run, given all the conditions stacked against an optimal one. As others said, it could've kissed 11s if things were optimized like tire pressures and ambient temps.

AFAIK, he was running 93 octane, with full street tire pressures, stock radials (run flats) and it was his first time at a track (thus the crappy 60').
