1/4 mile times for those that don't read the AMG forum
A bunch of us from a local car club went to the drags last night. I figured I'd run since I have never run my CLK55. I was very happy with my runs. My car is stock besides the Magnaflow muffler and dual tips performance wise. I ran with my 19's because I was too lazy to put the 17's on.
First run
2.136 60 ft.
13.6 @ 104.2
Third run
1.998 60 ft.
13.177 @ 107.78
Fifth run
2.008 60 ft.
13.199 @ 106.63
I ran 6 times and was just playing with launch and shift technique. Both 13.1 passes I held the brake and gas to 1000rpm on the line and floored it and manually shifted the car. I was quite suprised when I ran both 13.1 passes. I was hoping to get 13.3!
Looking all race ready when I got home
Left lane on this slip
Right lane on this one
Sorry about the picture quality. They are cell phone pics. I have a couple links to cell phone videos but the quality sucks. At least you can tell I was whipping the Corvette I was racing!
This run I hit the rev limiter in first gear and ran 13.7 I think.

Here is my 13.17 vs. the Corvette again
