> Ben, what is your SL ET & trap? You've posted it before on other forums (which I have not visited in like a year so I don't recall (11.3x @ 127 mph?)).

11.34 @ 127 .... but that was last fall. Some things may have changed over the winter

 

Haha - Porsche can't possibly make the Sacto challenge today though :\. I haven't spoken with the owner since yesterday BUT, he will definitely be here on the GTG and will "give you a try". Rumor has it that the CarLAB track has more than enough 1/4 mile straight line space to determine ANY outcome.

I will pass the next round of fighting words off to him soon.

flip

p.s. Ben - you know where my money lies.

 

appleguy (Mark), will be inviting his buddy Rich w/ a CL600 (he does not have a forum user name - label it 'invite' I guess).

flip

 

Chalk the SLK55 S7 up there. We may have a Kleemann only photoshoot soon yeah? . For the love of all that is holy - PLEASE - Mercedes folks - come early so I can organize all of you first (BMWs later :p). And bring the cameras.

flip

 

Never been to a GTG this big before.... do ppl usually show up on time or not?

Fremont crew will leave around 11.15AM... We may go to Fry's first on Brokaw to meet San Jose crew... This means we'll likely arrive there around 11.45-12. Is this too late?

Ben, "11SEC SL", huh? So if you break 10's, you need to change your license plate then...

Oh yeah.... let's set the 1/4-mile race between SL65 & P-car.... it'll be awesome.... what are the rules? Street/drag tires? Shots/no shots? Am a big fan of both cars.... so I'm torn between the two....

 

Thanks - I was a bit fuzzy. And yes, I know, the mods NEVER end.

-Matt

 

Rumor has it street tires are preferable. (P's got PS2s).

flip

 

It's already been ordered

I keep my racing at the racetrack. The Porsche can certainly join me in June for the next round of Grudge Drags.

 

Sound like fun.

And I'll bring the camera. You know how I am with cars... I'm the same way with cameras

 

Looking forward to meeting you, Matt. Did you get the new wheels on yet?

 

Likewise Blake. Rims/tires go on Tuesday .

I drove by this Carlab place this AM - not even a sign out front - looked kinda, err, small? This the right place, 650 Nuttman Street, #107, Santa Clara 95054?

-Matt

 

They recently moved down the street to a larger location, but I think the lot where the meet is being held is next door and it's HUGE.

We still need C36, SLK32, SL55, S55, S65 (Ben, can you bring both? ) and ML55 to complete AMG line

 

Don't forget we only have one E55, wink wink.

 

CarLAB New Location:

670 Nuttman St. Ste. #101/102 - you probably missed it by a hair . It's a "corner" location you're looking for this time and the huge lot you're looking for is just a bit further down Nuttman.

flip

Everyone okay with BBQ? I know someone mentioned to me the need for Salmon haha - let me know, I can forward the menu information rather quickly :p.

 

Special request Kobe steak for Danny! Hey it took awhile getting people to sign up organizing this list, and then some,j/k plus how many have seen a turnout this huge for Benz's in Norcal!!

The real Kobe Beef is no longer available in the US due to some trade embargo to protect the American cattle industry during the mad cow disease episode we had a few years ago.

Today, we do have American Kobe Beef which is baisically Japanese cows that have been bred here. The difference is not noticeable unless you're doing something like a carpaccio.

Thanks again Danny for organizing such a successful meet.

 

my car is top to bottom stock and dirty, so ill park mine far for the photoshoot

 

The meet is almost an entire week away. Get it washed. Besides, most dealerships offer it at no cost.

 

Only your dealership down there is that awesome. Our dealer up here is totally chang with the carwashes. And when they do do it, they always miss spots.

 

Add three more people to the list !!
C43 AMG - Steve
C230K 99' - Steves friend
c240 05' - Steves friend doz

 

o i know of two places in cali to get real japanese kobe special order tho. man i wish i could make it out, looks like this meet will be huge

 

my dealership is far from awesome. Besides, they'll do your car as well.

I used to be neighbored with the guy who owned the dealership. He never paid any special attention to us.

"chang" is that some sort of implication that all Chinese people are cheap?

KompressorKev
