Track Results 2012 CLS63 - 11.3's with a tune only on street tires

I finally got my 2012 CLS63 to the track tonight. The only mod on this car is the V-Tech tune and I was running on the factory wheels & tires. No drag radials!!!

I came home with several 11.3 slips and trap speeds in the 126 mph range

I'm blown away by the results. If I had drag radials the times would have been much better. I had to launch off idle otherwise my times would suffer due to wheel spin.

THANK YOU V-tech!!!

I've got some video footage that I'll upload to youtube for you guys tomorrow.

Great trap speeds for a stage 1 tune. The car is making power.

ON A 1.8 60 FOOTER!!!! (me with mouth just agape)

I finally know the feeling of awe my grandmother gets when I turn on the net in front of her and she stares in bewilderment.

Just doesn't seem possible from all the years of trying SO hard with the old 55's.

Congrats!!!

Thanks for the complements guys

Yep, 11.3's with a crappy 1.8 60' time. Imagine if I had drag radials the time this car would be running

Did you use race start? Sweet times, by the way.

I tried race start the first few passes and it always resulted in unwanted wheel spin followed by a bog. Now, with drag radials I think this was the hot ticket.

My launch was leaving just off idle. If I tried to rev it any off of idle the tires would spin. It just goes to show you how much is left in this "tune only" car if I were to run on some drag radials. I think I could set a new record

VTECH BABY!!!!

Told you

No I don't work for them, but the guy doing the V-Tech tunes is the same guy that tunes my 1000 RWHP ZO6. They are local to me here in Louisiana and I like supporting my local peeps

ok gotcha..

wow. im gonna have to order that tune when my CLS comes in.

this will be serious competition for the new ///M5.

speaking of z06, your cls63 would most likely take a stock z06, huh?

You won't be disappointed in the tune I assure you

I'd say it would be a close race depending on the driver of the ZO6. When my ZO6 was stock I was able to run consistent 11.6's on street tires.
Now, there are certain "hot shoe" drivers that have run 10's in a stock ZO6 with stock tires. Below is the top 10 contenders from the Corvette Forum's "Fast List" under the bone stock /stock tires category. Pretty impressive
