Went to the drag strip tonight...
Best time was a 16.3 @88mph and I let off at the end (was bracket racing). Track temp was about 80 degrees. The car has no power mods. Keep in mind that my altitude is 5800 ft, so this would likely be a low-mid 15 second time at sea level.
R/T: .055
60': 2.632
330: 7.135
1/8: 10.718
MPH: 69.50
1000: 13.772
1/4: 16.356
MPH: 87.77
My first 2 runs were both 16.74 @86 but I hit the rev limiter in 1st gear both times so I dialed in at a 16.65; but broke out in the first round of bracket racing despite hitting the brakes at the end (the other dude dialed in a 14.43 and ran a 14.434 so it wouldn't have mattered anyways).

Sweet sweet. Did you have a good time? I took my E320 to the track when I was down in Florida(Not drag strip) but never put it on. I used a C230K instead....It was more fun

I also got it on the scale, weighed 3700 lbs. with a little over half a tank of gas and nobody in it.
