Nice I found some cheapo wheels on tire rack for $99 35 offset should do it for the rear with stock brakes.

Congratulations

for your new record. You bettered me . I had the Same traction issues. on my Nittos 245 X 17 Drag Radials. The best I was ever able to @ The slipperly **** Moroso Track in West Palm Beach was a 12.66 ET. I have a Time slip for proof posted on Drag Times.

Then I installed a Quaife , and went on a road trip from Hobe Sound to Syacuse. I had my tires shipped up there. Went to ESTA Drag Strip in Clay N.Y. , NE of Syacuse . It was a Cool fall Day.The track was prepped right.On my 1st pass. The car felt real good. I got the time slip & Just about fell over. I swear we did the exact same time & MPH. The big disappointment was I lost the time slip So The trophy is yours. Congratulations again on your fine hard work to achieve this trophy

W209 2003 CLK55 Coupe
Quick? HA!

You guys think your cars are quick....that's nothing but pure, unadulterated BS.

There is a guy on this site who goes by the screen name of drb930.
I found his claim on another forum in this site.

He drives a stock 2002 C230 Coupe, and states in writing that it runs 10.90 at 125 MPH!!!!!!!!!!
Undoubtedly the fastest production MBZ on the planet! He must have a room full of trophies!!

We are all driving slugs! LOL...I think I'm going to off my CLK55 in favor of the faster C230 Coupe!!!!!!!!!

Does AMG know about this?

No my car doesn't run those times, in my dreams it does. I just don't have much to put in my Signature yet, so i thought i would put in something fun.
He was goofing around

Nice runs!!! Trade those Nittos for some BFG drag radials or Mickey Thompson drag radials and you'll never spin.

Brandon does your car have full interior or are you using racing seats? I should have asked this along time ago but just curious. Impressive #'s none the less.
