It was interesting that Mrs. Schiznick's car & mine turned in virtually identical dyno numbers - wish she could have brought the wagon to Silver Dollar!
I was blown away by the sound of Schiznick's CLS55 on the dyno - it sounded SO much better than my E55 (in addition to beating it by 10 RWHP).
Sheesh, I'm starting to think about trading it in!
Someone has to have a video with sound of his pull(s). If so, please post. The last 1/4 mile time I saw on his car was ~ 12.45, which documents the power difference shown on the dyno (he may have gone quicker, but I had to leave early).Derek, I'll admit that one of my primary reasons for attending was to hook up with both you & Eric (Gid_E_Up), fellow E55 owners pushing the performance envelope. I'm sorry you couldn't make it, but I'm sure the other participants agree that what we experienced was very special - you really had to be there!

SL65, E55T, Pending S65
piko6,
It was great to meet you.
If I had to get passed by someone on our trip to Reynolds, I didn't mind at all that it was you.
Your SL65 rocks, if only I didn't have a limiter...... ok, you still would have passed me.
I take it you got back with no issues.

Did GidEUp or any other Kleemann E's go?

Let's plan a southeast event again soon!
The weather, work and strep throat kept me and the family from coming. Let's regroup soon to make this happen again soon. I can easily rent carolina dragway in Beech Island, South Carolina just 15 miles from my town of Augusta, Georgia (Home of the Masters for you Golfers). Also we have a dyno shop off Interstate 20 that some of my friends use to Dyno their Ford Lightning trucks and Gran National turbo cars.

I was a newbie attending this, my first, AMG event, w/ my C55, & I certainly don't want to step on Pico6's toes, as he will probably respond to the queries regarding his awesome SL65. I had GREAT fun, & many thanks to Schiznick & Chappy for arranging this.
As I recall, Pico6's red SL65 put down 564 HP & 709 ft-lbs torque at the rear-wheels, and he ran about 11.7 secs @ 127 MPH at the drags. Compared to 505 HP & 622 ft-lbs for a stock SL65 from Orlando, which ran a best of 12.05 secs @ 121 MPH, on her first time at a drag-strip.

For completeness sake, I guess I should comment on my own car's performance. I was a little-bit disappointed by my C55's numbers, as I was low-man on the totem-pole at the dyno for 5.5L engines. I only got 284 HP & 296 ft-lbs torque @ the rear-wheels, vs. 290-310 HP for other C55- & C32-class AMG's. And I was 0.2-0.4-secs slower on the drags. My only excuse is that maybe my car is still breaking-in at 3,000 miles, & it was my first time at the strip.
I vow to do better next time, & whup Chappy's 13.4 sec 1/4 mi. time!!
Although Chappy's smoky-burnout of about $200-worth of Z-rated rubber may be hard to beat for some time!!!

My video is high-8, so I won't be able to post it. Trust me, that CLS exhaust is like thunder at full tilt! It almost toppled a Ferrari picture hung up high on the wall behind the dyno rollers. :v piko6, you and all the other out-of-towners made this event more enjoyable by participating.
Next time, I want a ride in that beast 
Glad you all could make it. Schiznick and I should have some even more surprises (hopefully) for the next one.

564HP? What kind of mods exactly does that car have? Does anyone know?

SLK32
A Big Thanks to Chappy & Schiznick for all their hard work in setting up a great event. And thanks again to Schiznick for the extended use of a helmet. This event gets May off on the right foot and sets a great tone for the rest of the summer.
My stock SLK32 (ok, you may argue that I am not stock because I have an SL55 splitter & the resonator removed) put down 298.5hp & 292.6 ft/lbs. I ran consistent 13.0 @108-109 on the track. A nice improvement over my only other trip to the drag strip.
Don't want to steal piko6's thunder but if memory serves he has the Kleeman ECU & Eiseman exhuast.
