Took the GLC 63 to the strip....

On Friday my buddy and I decided to go to the 1/8th mile drag strip in San Diego. Lets just say the GLC upset a lot of cars lol.

Basically was consistently hitting 7.8-7.9's every run. Best one that i had was 7.82 @ 90mph.

If you have the chance to take it out definitely do it!!!!!

that is awesome.

to be fair, you are setup to upset most non-AWD cars in the 1/8th mile.

Tha is about as much fun I get from my jeep; the initial hit.

no videos?

Sorry I wasnt able to catch any videos. My girlfriend didnt get dragged to them that night lol.

Believe it or not the only car that took me down was a Hellcat with slicks and my buddies SQ5 but it has a lot of work done to it.

We are heading up to Fontana on Wednesday to do the 1/4th mile. I will have the Weistec tune installed so we can see some real numbers being put out. Ill make sure to bring the GoPro.

Anyone is welcome to come out and see what their cars are capable of!!!!

I had a Q5 TDi Tuned and that things moves! Now, those B8 SQ5(guessing supercharger version not the B9) those can be very very quick with a Pulley, Tuned, and exhaust! They can run low to mid 11's with all the GO fast bits and with instant power on tap they will keep up with you or beat you.

Well it was a great night at Fontana. Sorry guys no videos though. I left the GF at home and we were having way too much fun.

On the slip I am car 4004 on right. This was heads up against a trackhawk... it is night and day with the tune.

my 1/8th mile dropped half a second.

The tune itself needs some work. It’s super aggressive on low end however the top end I feel it nosing down a bit. I think it is due to the turbos spinning too hard upfront. Going to work with weistec and getting a perfect product.

oh sweet Jesus. 11.5 running on 21" wheels.

I am excited to see the fine tuned tune results.

That SUV just looks wicked. Darth Vader doesn't even deserve it.

I am going to throw some R-compound tires on 4 wheels and have fun at this rate.
