SL-65 AMG Best to date 11.104@122
We did some running this weekend and finally broke into the 1.5's for a 60 foot and punched out the best time so far. Nothing has changed on the car so far but will have Links in the rear end this next weeks run.
Soon you will see us in the high 10's

Very impresive. Is this your car? Not that it matters but you always mention "we" so I was just curious. Were you driving on that run? That must have been a perfect hook up!

possibly have the tranny redone to handle the power, we are having a problem with the inter cooler getting too hot at about the 1/8 mile so we are trying to figure out a way to allow for more water flow or a way to cool it better. Then having custom lightweight drag wheels made for running M/T ET Drags and of course the links will be on this week. After that the ones who work on our car have been talking to a friend at Renntech to see what else we can come up with. Our ultimate goal is to hit 10.75
Currently done is ECU/TCU upgrade, Renntech Air Box and 18in BF drag radials

Congrats on the second fastest MB time I know of. It's about darn time. That monster bi-turbo V12 is destined for 10's. Add some spray and I'd say LOW 10's. The 60' time on BF DR's is AMAZING. Congrats and come get the crown!

Great run!!!! I wish I could have been there for it. I'm still at the Atlantis in the Bahamas. I'll be back this Saturday. I spoke to Lou before I left and told him that we're going to be there this Sunday, 9:30 @ the gas station. I'm bringing the Carrera GT out to run. Should be fun.
