temperature

Forced induction engines do not like hot, humid, or under 40 temp. Read the post uder your last one his friend had a stock that ran 13.3 plus car and driver had and estimated time factory under rates cars for insurance purposes and with just a high boost pulley u could probably take a full second maybe off your 1/4 time and this guy said he was at around 400 hp so he was probably running 12s if you would like to see my proof go here.. http://www.syclone.freeserve.co.uk/rivals.htm thanks and have fun please try to correct me if Im wrong my oldest brother works at the SVT factory sorry man and thats the 99 one that only has 360 imagine what 30 or 40 more hp does

As much as I'd like to admit it, I've never seen a 2002 or 1999 E55 AMG run 13. flat on the quarter mile, where did they get their numbers from? That's like 3 to 4 tenths better than anything I've ever heard of for a stock E55, makes me wonder about the rest of their listings.
The best I've seen for a Lightning on a low low humidity 62 F deg night is 13.4 and that's Houston's Raceway Park (one of the fastest on the country), we are practically at sea level, so no need for altitude adjustment. Look at my time, that's the best I've managed to get, and as far as I know I'm te fastest non supercharged or chipped E55 at 13.12
