12.34@113.16 new N/A record?
I just ran 12.34@113.16 1.800 60' at atco I'm very happy with these numbers but I think it can go 12.2 fingers crossed...

sounds like it is a new record, mod list would be helpful. Fastest I have seen is around 12.5ish from an NA car. Low 12s should be possible though with the right mods.

your 60' times improved drastically over the 3 runs, however your tires are absolutely killing your potential. The CLK chassis can take 275mm tires, you should definitely upgrade to some sticky wider rubber (something like a Dunlap Direzza Z1 will do wonders). Hell with a 2800 stall TC you may be able to break into the 12.0-12.1s on 275 sticky rubber
great results!
great results!

Awesome!
My best run last year was pretty much identical to your first, although with a worse 60' on my end. Your #'s are giving me hope that I'm only drag radials short of consistant 12's.
I wish I had a N/A CLK 55....

I'm having a hard time finding wheels for drag racing. I would love a set of 16's. it just seems more DR's come in 16's rather than 17's or 18's. how wide are your rims?

You can get CCW's in 16". And you can get d/r's in 17 and 18". Get mickey thompson et street RADIALS. They stick really good

A little off topic here but When I launch my car I don't even preload the car because all I will do is spin the tires. My best time launching from 500rpm's is 12.98... So do you think with some MT DRs I could preload the car at the light and not get wheel spin? I know my car is much faster than 12.98 I just cant launch it with street tires.
I just want to bring the RPM's up to 2k and drop the hammer without fear of wheel spin. But right now I cant because I will spin the tires and then ESP with kick in.
. Good job, thx for posting vids.

I was going to do the CCW's but my cash has been set aside for some projects. So i was just hoping for some cheap 16 inch wheels with some MT DR.
