Check out our 11.8 in a 202 C class

Here it is.

Last night in Commerce, Ga, I went 11.8 at over 117 in a 1999 C43.....

5.5 engine, Kleemann supercharged.
Custom boost kit, twin turbo throttle body, custom exhaust, custom cold air box and filter, porting, custom chip work, closed diff.
STREET Tires!!!!!!

Tell me what you think!

PS I wasn't going for reaction time but rather a good ET. Reaction time has no bearing on ET.

And here is a dyno graph of the car.

Notice how many runs we have been through on the quest for perfection.

Benzmac:

That's awesome! Quite an accomplishment out of the car and work you did.

On a funny note, I met a guy today that was flapping his jaws about running 12.5 ET in a STOCK 99 C43.

Needless to say, I was laughing on the inside. I was too nice by not calling him out on his claims. LOL

.............This car is absolutely incredible. I have had the pleasure of ridding in the car with Benzmac. It feels like you are in a jet plane. Feels kinda scary.

It scares me to think what you'd do with an E55.
