JRcart's Black Series may have gone faster but I don't remember.

Cool, was wondering what it was, i want to have the fastest. I just ran 1/8 this weekend, im right there and have more mods this month. I can beat that record. Goal is 11's by summer

Any CLK? Including the CLK63 Black series? There are a few in the 11's N/A

i've seen that most are 11.7 ish on motor,
yes i want to beat them also, and think its very possible, i see low 11's on nitrous, i do have a kit for mine but waiting on everything else to be done they way i want, but i think high 11's is reasonable for my car with mods

Looks like it's 11.46@122mph with intake, foam filters, full exhaust, tune, and drag radials.

Doesn't look like you have any secret weapons, so not sure how you figure your stock, sub 400hp is going to best even stock 63's. Heck looks like a supposedly stock CLK63 vert ran 11.98@119 in 37* weather. The 5.5L has a great power curve, but I don't see how you plan on making enough power to trap an extra 10+mph from stock unless you're gutting the car, having more then a 3.06 rear, slicks, etc. Have any time slips to post?

ran 8.01 1/8 mile with 1.8 60ft
the headers , gears and lsd arent even done yet. just installed a bigger throttle body today.
that eighth mile is quicker than stock 63's

I havent seen that 11.46 one, that would be hard, most of them ive seen are 11.7-.8 or so

///AchMeinGott

Not sure where you're seeing that. All the stock/stockish 63's on that list that filled everything out were 7.7x-7.9x.

I certainly could be wrong but I'd wager exhaust/throttlebody/tune won't net you even 450hp realistically. You can tell from the curve the 5.5 is a torque biased motor, which usually limits hp in some way(intake manifold or cams). To beat a 63 in a quarter mile I'm guessing you'll be opening up the engine in some fashion.

i saw a mag test that had them at low 8's. i did see on drag times most were 7.7-7.9, im right there now, i can get 7.9x the way it sits with just a better pass.

guess we will see. you may be correct. it will be a fun summer going after it
