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...

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
