there should be aftermarket tuners that provide a modest gain in hp by raising the boost via ecu chipping or better, ecu reprogramming. that should shave a few tenths of a second off to get u under 13s.

I considered a 2002 C32 before buying the E55, the C32 is a sweet car, what were your numbers on the 1/4 mile? besides 13.2

That is the same time I'm getting out of my car, my first step is K&N air filters, i'm also trying to get the dealer to change fuel requirements for my car.

1/4 mile times

I would second that - that is an amazing 1/4 mile time for a C32 - was that stock? What was your trap speed / 60' ft

unbelievably impressive - I would concur - pully / ecu to pump up the boost - just make sure you can handle the fuel delivery requirements!!! Detonation can make an ugly mess of your AMG block.

If you haven't done a drop in K&N - that's an easy 8-12hp

damn

you hooked up pretty well off the light - best I've seen was a 1.9 60' on stock 17" 245 rims (the Kleeman 55 in Atlanta that did a 12.4)

My best run (esp on) vs. Your Run
60' - 2.467..........2.039 (hell, there is 4/10ths right there!)
330 - 6.112..........5.636
1/8 - 9.068..........8.596
mph - 83.26..........82.89
1000 - 11.598..........11.114
1/4 - 13.712..........13.265
mph - 106.88..........106.94

OK - I suck!:p No, but seriously, you cut an amazing 60' for stock tires (I presume stock tires). Add slicks and you might already be a 12 sec car. Usually a tenth in your 60' is good for 2/10ths on your final trap speed.

Looking at the MPH we are both about the same hp - I'd say drop in some K&Ns, slicks and your there. Let us know!

good luck!

Great times! they are really close to what I got for my E55 (yours being about 0.050 sec better

You live in Houston, don't you? May be we can communicate and show up at HRP the same day, one of these days.

K&N has just changed delivery date for my filters, so I'll keep waiting for two more weeks, next time I go to the track I'll have to remove the boom box, the spare tire, child seat and run with less than a full tank , yes you can say I was lazy that day to remove anything! :o

Slk 32 Mods

I have a SLK32 with the full Renntech mods. Pulley Kit, Chip, Monolite wheels, brakes and springs.
I consistantly run the 1/4 mile in 12.8 / 12.9 @109. The mods really made a noticable differnce. Now only if I had some drag tires I'd be in the mid 12's!
