So, I went to the dragstrip in Houston for fun. Ran on my 22" Vossen wheels. Continental DWS06 in front, Atturo AZ850 in the rear.
First night, spent 3 hours at the track with bad controls and made a single run for 12.3s.
Tonight i went earlier and made multiple runs, starting with 12.7, got as slow as 13.0 but finished at 12.5
I am going to use my Pirelli 20" on my next visit and possibly make some modifications to my rear brake calipers to fit 18" wheels with drag radials with match 20" in front. did not clear the outside of the brakes but 19" might. You will also need to deal with the front face if the offset is not right, it would not clear even in 19"
Your car was super heat soaked I’m assuming.. your 60ft are way off as well. Did you put traction control completely off? That will help a lot in that. But again it all depends on the weather outside.
Being in in southern California I get best conditions but actually the air is too dry for the car so I miss all the performance

yup. heatsoaked. let it sit for an hour and got my 12.5 run.
I just went to Sport+, did not change anything past that. on my first run for 12.7, i actually broke lose hard enough to move left towards median before i corrected.
This friday I will run with the stock pirelli tires on 22"s. $100 22" tires are not exactly racing tires.

I have upgraded turbos, Tune etc and was only able to pull a 11.3 off. With some better conditions I think I’ll break into the 10’s. I went even as high as 11.8 with all my power
i do recommend putting traction all the way off. The 4matic will book regardless. It will cut down that 60’ time
