Bone stock, I think it will do the 1/4 in around flat to low 12 seconds. Don't know about 200kmh.

The day that I go to a drag strip and see an S55/S65 do a 1/4 mile, i'll give you a million yen. haha, no, erm i guess you can just put it in a similator, whats the weight of the car, the power etc, the fact that its RWD, and preferably the drag coefficient. Id say that 12.5 sounds about right because of its sheer weight to get it off the line!

And that's a professional driver at ideal conditions. There was an s65 at the track the other night here in Vegas running 13.4 @ 109 mph.

FYI - my friend has a CL65 (kleemann chipped w/ exhaust) and he runs 12.2 @ 116

Yeah, that's pretty slow. Just depends on the altitude where the drag strip is.

According to that performance calculator my car should do the following:

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 531
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1740
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 310.07
0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.00
0 - 100 (Secs) : 8.09
60 - 100 (Secs) : 4.09
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.07
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 122.17
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.97
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 123.53


At sea level at a decent temp, that's exactly what I would probably do. But in Vegas I ran 12.49 @ 116. That performance calculator is pretty damn accurate. Clearly it doesn't take into account drag slicks, because if I were running slicks I could easily pull mid 11's.

True, In your country its hotter than here in the UK even during your winter! Its the end of summer here, and the semi-accurate thermometer on my Clio said 7degrees C (at 23.30) !!!! it was 20 odd yesterday.
But anyway, my car was flying tonight with my forced air induction and all that cool air!!!

This is what my car looks like btw...
