And I will be there again. What a blast. I may actually be going for all 3 days. Guys, if you have never been, I can tell you that you will not see as many extreme powerful exotic muscle cars ANYWHERE!
Yes.

Holy mother of BABY JEEZUUSS!!!

1st you spin badly.....Then reel him in like you had a tractor beam from the "Death Star" mounted to your hood & flew passed that bucket on your left like you shut'em down w/secret EMP Pulse

The sheer noise that Speedriven Monsta' is making is a bit Disturbing-Terrifying! Look'd like you were cookin' what'd you trap I'm guessin high 130's possibly 140mph

We keep tripping certain codes. These issues are retarding boost, etc...and effecting the run, especially the 2nd half.
I'll post details once we get the problems out of the way but I will say this.....with 2.0+ 60s(I dont have drag experience), the car has the highest 1/8th mile speed of any MB on this list : http://www.dragtimes.com/Mercedes-Be...ag-Racing.html

Congrats! You don't want to share numbers? Btw, spinning off the line increases trap speed usually. You are making th epower to break the records if you can put it down!

Your worst nightmare...
Nice Video. Were you still running those anchors at the back? (20 inch baller rims, just messing with you.)

Get a nice set of Drag radials and see that bad boy hook. You might brake something.

Marcin - look for us at the mile. I will have a trailer with a LSX Performance Dyno Tuning Banner on the side.

Looking forward to seeing that 1100rwhp beast run 210mph at the mile next weekend.

I dont have 1100 rwhp. Highest actual dyno read was 689 on a mustang (not dynojet) with temps above 100. I dont want to start guessing what the car would have done in cooler weather on a dynojet....You can draw your own conclusions.

I have seen the car.. I will be there this weekend. Hope the weather is cool. I bet it will do 200+.

I have no interest in whether it will do it or not... But I did see what it did last time.

My bet ( if you want to bet against me) is that it will do over 200.. Anyone???

Not sure where this 1100whp came from guys. We never announced it as 1100whp. Back in March with rather cool weather the car made 733whp on a Mustang dyno. We did take it to a dynojet in the summer. With the temps outside being in the high 90s, that made the dyno place well over 100 deg inside. With a first pass of 748whp, engine and iats started getting to high for comfort and we aborted. Days later we went back to the Mustang dyno and again in near 100 deg weather we ended up with 680-690whp.
