Fellow AMGers,
I returned from the track this past Saturday preparing to share my results, but the forum was still down
Alas, I can now report results from the afternoon's efforts:
I went with the MB Autowerks 'gang' to the strip this past Saturday. I had never been to the track before.
I ran only one run with traction control off...13.439 @ 105.79. The two other runs I tried were with traction control on. I should mention this is on a stock CLK55 on 93 pump octane, 35 psi tires, 1/2+ tank of fuel, and a full trunk (spare, tools, etc.).
The result?
My full slip reads:
R/T: .803
60: 2.131
330: 5.770
1/8: 8.745
MPH: 82.57
1000: 11.297
1/4: 13.439
MPH: 105.79
I ran on stock tires (Michelin Pilot Sports).
Temp was 70 deg, overcast and very humid (80%+)
More info and pics here...

Chappy, lower the pressure to 25 lbs, that should hook up better, don't empty the trunk, you need that extra weight, trust me.

CLK 55 AMG March 2000
First race this season vs. Firehawk
He ran in the low 11 s
No chance for me with 13.8
But it was a lot of fun altogether
