Wow, I haven't seen a stock car in the 12's with a 111 trap speed. Excellent job. What were your other runs?

Try lowering those Nitto's to 18-20psi and you might pick up another .1 or so...nicely done and good trap speed

Good runs!! After running 12.9 I have been debating doing some headers, full exhaust, tune, etc. I am also maybe considering selling it and getting a CL600.

That's kind of what I've been leaning towards. I could keep my car and put a bunch of money into modifying it or take that money and sell mine and put it towards the 600. The cl600's have been going for pretty cheap lately. It's hard though since I like the 208 body a lot better.

BTW, I am curious to see those headers you built!!

A CL600tt will smoke a CLK55 in a straight line. I still like the 208 CLK55 more though
